Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2020 Jan;43(1):21-29. doi: 10.1111/pace.13830. Epub 2020 Jan 9.

Abstract

Variant accessory pathways include atriofascicular, nodofascicular, nodoventricular, atrio-Hisian, and fasciculoventricular pathways. Atriofascicular pathways are the most common with others occurring rarely. The anatomical descriptions, electrocardiographic findings, electrophysiologic findings, and clincial manifestations are discussed.

Keywords: Brechenmacher; Mahaim; accessory pathways; atrio-Hisian; atriofascicular; catheter ablation; fasciculoventricular; nodofascicular; nodoventricular.
