Posteroseptal accessory pathways (APs) are actually not septal but reside in a complex region bordering the right atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle, left atrium and coronary sinus and its branches. Posteroseptal APs are among the most challenging to ablate given the complex anatomic relationships and the possible need to map in all of these locations. Distinguishing retrograde AV nodal conduction from retrograde septal AP conduction is yet another hurdle. Moreover, the risk of AV nodal or coronary arterial injury from ablation of posteroseptal accessory pathways is significant. Given these challenges the electrophysiologist should usually map all the potentially viable locations before proceeding with ablation.
