Successful ablation of coexistent Mahaim tachycardia and right posterior accessory pathway in a patient with Ebstein’s anomaly

Summary– The atriofascicular accessory pathway (AP), known as the Mahaim pathway, is a rare form of pre-excitation, comprising less than 3% of all APs. Mahaim AP is characterized by decremental, anterograde-only conduction, and antidromic tachycardia with left bundle branch morphology. Prevalence of Mahaim AP in Ebstein’s anomaly is significantly high. In addition, combination of Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome and Mahaim AP in patients with Ebstein’s anomaly has been reported. Presently described is the coexistence of Mahaim AP and manifest WPW syndrome in a patient with Ebstein’s anomaly, who was successfully ablated without fluoroscopy.
