Ventricular fibrillation during transesophageal atrial pacing in an infant with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome

A complication of transesophageal atrial pacing in an infant with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) is reported. A newborn infant born with fetal hydrops had recurrent supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) that required repeated successful conversion by transesophageal atrial pacing. Because of secondary left ventricular dysfunction, digoxin was administered. During repeat transesophageal atrial pacing for recurrent SVT, ventricular fibrillation occurred. Although it is unclear which of several possible contributing factors was responsible for the ventricular fibrillation, recommendations are appropriate to minimize the risk in infants with WPW.

An infant presented with neonatal syncope and seizures. An ECG showed a preexcitation pattern, most compatible with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. Rhythm monitoring during an event demonstrated prolonged periods of complete AV block with no ventricular escape mechanism. We postulated that ventricular asystole was initiated by mechanical or autonomic influences on the accessory pathway and sustained by electrophysiologic interactions between the accessory pathway and the junctional escape focus. This is the first case report of a newborn having coexisting congenital AV block and WPW syndrome.
