| Abstract: | A 16-year-old boy was referred for an electrophysiological study for documented regular narrow complex tachycardia. A diagnosis of a concealed left lateral accessory pathway was made with an eccentric atrial activation sequence both during tachycardia and right ventricular (RV) pacing. The pathway was mapped at the left posterior mitral vestibule during RV pacing, performed through the distal tip of the His bundle catheter pushed into right ventricular outflow tract. An unusual response to ventricular stimulation with alternation of QRS complex width and morphology was noted. The possible mechanisms are hereby discussed. |
