  • Description: PINSKI, S.L., et al.: Concealed Accessory Pathway Manifesting Clinically Only After Pacemaker Implantation. A 66‐year‐old man with coronary artery disease and persistent left superior vena cava received a DDDR pacemaker for symptomatic 2:1 heart block. There was no previous history of tachyarrhythmias. Endless loop tachycardia and repetitive nonreentrant ventriculoatrial synchrony occurred afterwards and were triggered by a late coupled atrial premature beat. ECGs suggested a concealed left posterior accessory pathway that was confirmed during electrophysiological study. Effective palliation was achieved with extension of the PVARP and enabling noncompetitive atrial pacing operation.
