Risk of Sudden Death After Successful Accessory Atrioventricular Pathway Ablation in Resuscitated Patients with Wolff‐Parkinson‐White Syndrome

Abstract

In resuscitated patients with WPW syndrome who have normal left ventricular function at echocardiography and no ECG abnormalities suggesting additional electrical disease, ablation of their overt accessory pathways prevented cardiac arrest recurrences; therefore, ICD placement is generally not indicated.
