Abstract
A 27-year-old patient with Parahisian Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW), who had very frequent tachycardia attacks and pre-syncope complaints, could not be cured with the RF ablation method previously. Since RF ablation may necessitate a permanent cardiac pacemaker, cryoablation was decided to be performed in another session. Herein, we report a successful treatment of a WPW case via cryoablation.
