Selected slow pathway ablation in a patient with corrected transposition of the great arteries and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.

We report the first known case of AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) associated with a corrected transposition of the great arteries to be treated successfully by ablation of the slow pathway. Triple AV nodal pathways were observed in the anterograde direction and two types of AVNRT were induced. Input of the fast pathway to the AV node was located at the anterior portion of the left-sided AV annulus, while the input of the intermediate and slow pathways was located at the anteroseptal portion of the right-sided AV annulus. Radiofrequency energy ablation at the right anteroseptal site eliminated the intermediate and slow pathways.
