Implication

Alerts clinicians to lead-related reentry as treatable VT mechanism; hypothesis-generating case report leaves broader applicability open.

Structured PICO

Population

A 34-year-old woman with a history of radical repair for tetralogy of Fallot at age 8, moderate-to-severe pulmonary regurgitation, symptomatic pauses, and atrial flutter.

Intervention

Surgical removal of the right ventricular apical endocardial pacemaker lead and pulmonary valve replacement.

Outcome

Cure of ventricular tachycardia.

Right ventricular endocardial pacemaker leads can cause iatrogenic ventricular tachycardia by creating a reentry circuit, which may be cured by surgical lead removal.
