Key result

Radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully cured polymorphic ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricular outflow tract, with no recurrence over 18 months.

Why the study?

Does radiofrequency catheter ablation prevent recurrence of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation in a patient without organic heart disease?

Implication

Ablation may be feasible for idiopathic PVT; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Key Points

The aim is to report the successful catheter ablation of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in a patient without organic heart disease.
Patient: 65-year-old woman with recurrent syncope and no organic heart disease
Diagnosis confirmed via ECG recording during syncope, showing PVT and VF
Catheter ablation performed targeting PVC origin in the right ventricular outflow tract.
During an 18-month follow-up, no episodes of PVT/VF were documented.

Does radiofrequency catheter ablation prevent recurrence of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation in a patient without organic heart disease?

Population

A 65-year-old woman with a 10-year history of recurrent syncope due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia without organic heart disease, followed for 18 months.

Intervention

Radiofrequency catheter ablation at the site of premature ventricular complex (PVC) origin in the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract.

Outcome

Documentation of PVT/VF recurrence during follow-up.hard clinical

Radiofrequency catheter ablation targeting the triggering PVC in the RV outflow tract successfully prevented recurrence of PVT/VF in a patient without organic heart disease.

Kusano et al. (2000) conducted a case report in Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PVT)/ventricular fibrillation (VF) (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Documentation of PVT/VF during follow-up. Radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully cured polymorphic ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricular outflow tract, with no recurrence over 18 months.
