Abstract

Catheter-induced radiofrequency (RF) ablation has become the initial non-pharmacological treatment option for Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. In this report, we present the successful surgical treatment of WPW syndrome in two patients in whom percutaneous ablation of the accessory pathway was not successful.
