ABSTRACT

Scimitar syndrome and Wolff-Parkinson-White association has not been reported during the era of catheter ablation. We present our personal experience with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, a technical challenge related with Scimitar’s anatomical variants and follow-up after surgical repair of the latter.
