Anesthetic Management for Surgical Ablation of Accessory Conduction Pathways / 대한마취과학회지

The Wolff-Parkinson-White (W-P-W) syndrome and variants are called the pre-excitation sydrome. The prevalence has been estimated 0.15 pereent. Advances in electrophysiological mapping and increasing sophistication of surgical techniques have been resulted in an increasing role for definitive surgical treatment. The anesthetic management of patients with this syndrome is aimed at avoiding tachyarrhythmias. Anesthesia for surgical ablation of accessory conducting pathways was successfully performed under general balanced technique with fentantyl, vecuronium, isoflurane which were avoid of sympathetic stimulation.
