Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation within the coronary venous system successfully treated a case of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia originating from the great cardiac vein.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates the feasibility of successful radiofrequency catheter ablation within the coronary venous system for idiopathic epicardial ventricular tachycardia originating from the great cardiac vein.
Should not yet change practice for epicardial VT; hypothesis-generating for venous ablation approaches.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is accepted as an effective and curative therapy for idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (IVT). Although endocardial radiofrequency (RF) ablation is the common approach for ablation of IVTs, rare patients have been reported in whom ventricular tachycardia (VT) could not be ablated from endocardium due to an epicardial origin of the tachycardia. We, herein, present a case of IVT originating from the great cardiac vein that was successfully ablated within the coronary venous system.

Yıldırım et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Successful ablation. Radiofrequency catheter ablation within the coronary venous system successfully treated a case of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia originating from the great cardiac vein.
