摘要：
Introduction: Transcatheter radiofrequency ablation of posteroseptal accessory pathways (AP) is challenging. A number of different interventional approaches have been suggested by different groups. The selection of the initial approach is crucial in order to reduce radiation exposure and the number of unsuccessful lesions applied. We present our ablation technique as guided by a simplified electrocardiographic analysis of the delta wave polarity and the electrophysiologic mapping results.
