Elimination of a right-sided accessory pathway using a videothoracoscopic approach after failed recurring catheter ablation: clinical case
https://doi.org/10.35336/VA-2022-4-09
Abstract
The description of the clinical case presents a rare observation of a multi-stage approach to the treatment of right-sided accessory pathway. There are presented the results and features of successful epicardial ablation using a minimally invasive thoracoscopic approach, which made it possible to eliminate accessory pathways for right-sided epicardial localization after failed recurring cataract ablations.
