The first patient, a 36-year-old male, had a right anterolateral accessory pathway. A radiofrequency current of 30 watts was delivered to the site of the V-δ interval of -10 msec without abolishing the delta wave. However, application of the same current to the site of the V-δ interval of -40 msec led to the disappearance of the delta wave within 2 seconds. The second patient was a 24-year-old male with a right posteroseptal accessory pathway. Application of a radiofrequent current of 30 watts applied to the site of the V-δ interval of -40 msec led to the disappearance of the delta wave in 6.3 sec. The successful ablation of the accessory pathway was achieved by an index the V-δ interval during atrial fibrillation without the need for general anesthesia.}, pages = {39--42}, title = {Successful Ablation of Accessory Pathways by Radiofrequency Current Catheter Ablation during Atrial Fibrillation}, volume = {42}, year = {1994} }
