Overview

Catheter ablation is indicated in the long term management of patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. The indications of catheter ablation in WPW syndrome are as follows:[1]

  • Asymptomatic preexcited AF with rapid conduction over the accessory pathway in electrophysiology study
  • Asymptomatic preexcitation in specific jobs such as airline pilots, athletes involved in moderate or high level competitive sports
  • Presence of AVRT and preexcited AF
  • Presence of atriofascicular ( mahain) accessory pathway
