Atriofacicular pathways of Mahaim type are typically decrementally conducting accessory pathways without retrograde conduction properties, located on the right ventricular free wall at the tricuspid annulus. We report a patient with an atriofascicular pathway with minimal anterograde decremental conduction. Both long and short V-H antidromic atriofascicular reentrant tachycardias were induced and mechanism confirmed with electrophysiologic testing. Additionally, orthodromic atriofascicular reentrant tachycardia with narrow and right bundle branch block morphologies were inducible. Mahaim pathway was successfully ablated with elimination of both antidromic and orthodromic tachycardias.
