摘要：

Two patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome who underwent successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of their left-sided bypass tracts are described. Transesopageal echocardiography, a relatively new echocardiographic technique, was utilized in both patients and provided excellent visualization of intracardiac anatomy as well as the catheter tip. Transesophageal echocardiography was also synergistic with fluoroscopy and the intracardiac electrogram in providing more precise catheter placement. In addition, the use of transesophageal echocardiography may reduce fluoroscopic exposure and shorten the procedure time.
