| Popis: | Key Teaching Points • The left atrial appendage can have fibers connecting to the left ventricle that can be involved in sustaining a reentrant arrhythmia. • Ablation of these fibers inside of the left atrial appendage can be achieved with the use of irrigated catheters. • The use of intracardiac echocardiography can assist in mapping and to avoid complications in difficult cases of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. |
