Implication

DC ablation may control refractory VT post-tetralogy repair; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does electrical ablation prevent recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia in a postoperative tetralogy of Fallot patient?

Population

1 26-year-old female patient with recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs, following a third heart surgery for chronic pulmonary regurgitation after repair of tetralogy of Fallot.

Intervention

Electrical ablation using DC energy delivery of 200 Joules to catheter electrodes in the right ventricular outflow tract.

Outcome

Prevention of ventricular tachycardia (VT)

Electrical ablation using DC energy can successfully treat refractory recurrent sustained ventricular tachycardia in patients with postoperative tetralogy of Fallot.
