Ablation targeting an isolated late potential during sinus rhythm in the right ventricular outflow tract successfully eliminated both LVOT and RVOT tachycardias.
Case Report (n=1)
Catheter ablation from the septal wall of the RVOT can successfully eliminate both LVOT and RVOT tachycardias sharing a common septal substrate.
Simultaneous epicardial and endocardial mapping demonstrated that in a substantial number of ventricular tachycardias (VTs) endocardial, intramural, and epicardial structures are involved in the substrate of the reentrant circuits. Both right and left ventricular breakthrough has also been described during VT originating in the interventricular septum. We report the case of a patient with a nonischemic left ventricular aneurysm presenting with a left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) tachycardia and a right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) tachycardia. Mapping from the anterior interventricular vein and the endocardium of the RVOT revealed mid-diastolic potentials at the epicardium of the LVOT and the endocardium of RVOT, where the criteria of central isthmus sites could be demonstrated. Ablation targeting an isolated late potential during sinus rhythm in RVOT eliminated both the LVOT tachycardia and the RVOT tachycardia. In this patient with a nonischemic left ventricular aneurysm, the substrate of a LVOT tachycardia and RVOT tachycardia is described, and successful catheter ablation of the right and left ventricular tachycardia from the septal wall of RVOT is reported.
Reithmann et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Nonischemic left ventricular aneurysm with LVOT and RVOT tachycardia (n=1). Catheter ablation targeting an isolated late potential in RVOT was evaluated on Elimination of LVOT and RVOT tachycardia. Ablation targeting an isolated late potential during sinus rhythm in the right ventricular outflow tract successfully eliminated both LVOT and RVOT tachycardias.
