Abstract:Background: There have been numerous reports about coronary sinus (CS) anomalies related to posteroseptal accessory pathways (APs). The purpose of this study was to explore the diameter and morphology of CS in patients with posteroseptal APs.Methods: We performed direct CS angiography in 105 patients with 22 posteroseptal APs and 83 APs in other regions, and 25 control subjects. We compared the diameter of the CS ostium in all subjects, and assessed the correlation of the local activation time in the patients … Show more
Our total initial failure rate and subsequent recurrence was around 41 %. Better results might have been achieved had we applied irrigated tip catheters or NavX(TM)-guided cryoablation or subxiphoid epicardial mapping and ablation.
