Key result
Ablation inside the middle cardiac vein successfully treated frequent premature ventricular complexes originating from this unusual anatomical location.
Why the study?
The middle cardiac vein is an unusual site of origin for premature ventricular complexes.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates the feasibility of successfully ablating PVCs originating from the unusual location of the middle cardiac vein.
May expand PVC ablation targets to middle cardiac vein; leaves open safety and reproducibility in larger cohorts.
Some premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) originate from the coronary venous system. The great cardiac vein and the anterior cardiac vein are the most frequent localizations. The middle cardiac vein is an unusual anatomy for a point of origin for PVC. We present here a case of frequent PVCs with characteristic electrocardiographic features, which we successfully ablated inside the middle cardiac vein.
