- Abstract
Introduction: Accessory AV pathways with decremental conduction are uncommon and, in particular, are thought not to occur at the anterior portion of the mitral annulus. Methods and Results: This report describes successful catheter ablation in three patients with accessory AV pathways that were adenosine sensitive and showed decremental conduction properties. The pathways were located at the anteroseptal, anteroparaseptal, and anterolateral aspects of the mitral annulus. Conclusion: Accessory pathways with decremental conduction do occur anywhere around the mitral annulus, even in the area of fibrous continuity between the aortic leaflet of the mitral valve and the aortic valve itself.
