Abstract
The advent of surgical techniques to interrupt accessory conduction pathways (ACPs) as a treatment method for Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome has made more apparent than ever the need to preoperatively localize the site of ACPs. With such information one can select optimal candidates for surgical intervention (lateral ACPs vs. septal ACPs), and one can choose the appropriate operative approach (thoracotomy vs. sternotomy) while intraoperative electrophysiological investigations are often hampered by limitation of time, poor patient tolerance as well as a number of technical problems (1) that may arise. The present study was designed to investigate the clinical value of both body surface mapping and phase display methods in the correct localization of ACPs in patients with WPW syndrome.
