The Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is due to a congenital heart mal formation that is the result of one or more persistent anomalous atrioven tricular pathway(s). While supraventricular tachycardia is the most commonly associated arrhythmia, there is a wide spectrum of associated arrhythmias mending fatal ventricular fibrillation. It is now known that surgical ablation of the anomalous pathway(s) can result in complete cure of arrhythmias in some patients. The purpose of this report is to describe the current methods used for the preoperative and operative electrophysiologic evaluation and surgical treatment of children with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, as illustrated by the case presentation of a normal eight-year-old patient who had ventricular fibrillation.
