This report describes the case of a 19‐year‐old patient with Ebstein's anomaly, who had an unusual combination of a right atriofascicular (Mahaim) and two ipsilateral right atrioventricular (Kent) accessory pathways participating in three types of antidromic and orthodromic reciprocating tachycardias in the absence of retrograde conduction over the bundle of His‐atrioventricular node axis. All three pathways were ablated in a single session using temperature‐guided radiofrequency current.
