Figure 1:
The anatomic course of the AP inserting near the RBB is outlined using an electroanatomic mapping system. Shown on the map are the locations of accessory pathway potentials (small triangles, labeled 1 to 5), with the corresponding electrograms are recorded above (arrows, labeled 1 to 5). The red balls indicate the site at which ablation was performed, specifically the atrial insertion site on the tricuspid annulus. Reproduced with permission from: Gupta A, Hsia HH, Po R, Zei PC.
