Children with a Wol -Parkinson-White electrocardiography pattern are usually asymptomatic. In these patients, the initial evaluations of organic cardiac disease and di erentiation from fasciculoventricular pathways are important. If atrioventricular accessory pathways exist, the patient can develop atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, rarely preexcited atrial brillation with rapid ventricular responses, sudden cardiac death, and heart failure caused by ventricular dyssynchrony. Risk strati cation of fatal arrhythmic events by using noninvasive tests is thought to be di cult. e incidence of complications a er catheter ablation is higher in smaller children. e acute e ect, recurrence, and complication rates of catheter ablation are related to the location of the accessory pathway. Management is determined by the balance between the potential cardiovascular risks of accessory pathways and the possible complications of electrophysiological study and catheter ablation.
