An electrophysiological study was performed on a 39-year-old woman with recurrent palpitations. She initially presented in 1985 with atrial fibrillation, ventricular preexcitation, and a rapid ventricular response. At that time, she underwent open heart surgery, and mapping demonstrated multiple posteroseptal and left free wall accessory pathways. Accessory pathway conduction was abolished surgically, but a follow-up electrophysiological study demonstrated a residual accessory ventriculoatrial connection. In the current study, coronary sinus angiography was performed through the …
