Popis: A 26-year-old woman with partial atrioventricular (AV) canal defect surgically closed with pericardial patch in a mode that the triangle of Koch had become part of the left atrium underwent successful slow pathway ablation for slow–fast AV nodal reentrant tachycardia. Transseptal approach was used because of the atypical post-operative anatomy. Transseptal catheter ablation of the slow pathway can be a reasonable and safe alternative in patients subjected to this type of operation.
