High-resolution mapping and ablation of recurrent left lateral accessory pathway conduction

Proper localization of the anatomical target during ablation of the accessory pathways (AP) and the ability to detect clear AP potentials on the ablation catheter are crucial for successful AP ablation. We report a case of recurring AP conduction that was finally eliminated using a novel ablation ca...
