Abstract
A second unidirectional, retrograde accessory atrioventricular pathway was unmasked by adenosine during the intracardiac evaluation of a child with a reentrant long RP′ tachycardia. This case is further evidence of the value of adenosine during the evaluation of these types of tachycardias.
