Summary: Surgical division of an accessory atrioventricular connection in the posterior septal region following ventricular fibrillation in; the Wolff‐Parkinson‐White syndrome. N. Sadick,;D. K. Baird and J. B. Uther, Aust. N.Z. J. Med., 1978, 8 , pp. 652–655. A young man presented with atrial fibrillation and a rapid ventricular response which degenerated into ventricular fibrillation. Electrophysiological study demonstrated an accessory atrioventricular connection in the posterior septal region. This was sectioned to prevent recurrence of his arrhythmia. Post‐operative electrophysiological study demonstrated that the surgical section was successful.
