V. node. It allows the electrical activity to bypass the A. V node.Anatomy (Location of Accessory pathway) in W.P.W. syndromeo Electrophysiological studies and mapping have shown that accessory. Atrioventri pathways may be located anywhere along the A-Vrign or groove in the septum.o The most frequent locations are: -Left lateral (50%), posteroseptal (30%) right anteroseptal (10%).Right lateral (10%).o Preexcitation resulting from left sided accessory is called type A preexcitation.o Preexcitation resulting from right sided accessory pathway is called type B preexcitation.
