Abstract
Thoracoscopic surgery for the treatment of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is rare. We report a case of thoracoscopic surgical ablation of the epicardial pathway in a 13-year-old female patient. Intraoperative electroanatomic mapping was performed to identify the exact location of accessory electrical conduction in the right atrioventricular groove. Stamping ablation using a bipolar radiofrequency pen device achieved irreversible disappearance of the delta wave. Eight months after the surgical procedure, there has been no recurrence of arrhythmia in this patient.
