Abstract:
A 61-year-old man underwent orthotopic heart transplantation for end-stage ischemic cardiomyopathy. The donor presented with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and the allograft was successfully transplanted. The accessory pathway was interrupted postoperatively by radiofrequency current catheter ablation, and the patient is clinically well and free of preexcitation 24 months later.
