RESUMEN
The occurrence of pre-excitation in tricuspid atresia (TA) is slightly more common than that in normal children. The accessory pathway (AP), when it occurs in the setting of congenital atrioventricular valvar disease, is usually ipsilateral to the side of the abnormal valve. This report describes a patient with TA who had pre-excitation due to a left-sided AP that masked and modified the typical electrocardiographic features. The electrophysiological study confirmed an epicardial left posterior AP that was successfully ablated with radiofrequency energy, through the coronary sinus. Left-sided APs including epicardial ones may rarely be seen in TA and can potentially cause difficulties due to lack of vascular access to the heart after the Fontan surgery if arrhythmias occur. They are amenable to successful radiofrequency ablation and need to be dressed prior to Fontan surgery.
