Permanent Junctional reciprocating tachycardia (PJRT) occurs primarily in young patients and causes nearly incessant tachycardia that is frequently refractory to pharmacologic treatment. Previous nonpharmacologic therapy has included surgical or direct-current catheter ablation of either the His bundle or the accessory pathway. The accessory pathway in PJRT has been described as having retrograde and anterograde decremental conduction properties, and is typically identified in the posteroseptal location. This report describes radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory pathways in 8 patients with PJRT. All ablations were successful and without adverse effects. Accessory pathway potentials were detected just before atrial activation in 6 of 8 patients. A new finding was that 5 of the 8 pathway locations, as identified by the site of successful ablation, were not in the typical posteroseptal region. In 1 patient it was located in the right posteroseptal region, 2 were in the right atrial freewall, 1 was in the right anterior septum and 1 was in the left posterior region just outside of the septal region. In conclusion, radiofrequency catheter ablation can be a highly effective and safe method for treatment of young patients with PJRT. Because the accessory pathways can be located outside of the posteroseptal region, careful mapping of both the right and left atrioventricular groove may be necessary for successful ablation.
