Key result
Radiofrequency ablation successfully suppressed a high-burden premature ventricular complex originating from the posterolateral right ventricular outflow tract.
Case Report (n=1)
This case highlights the potential for the apparent site of PVC origin to shift from the posteroseptal to the posterolateral RVOT due to preferential pathways, requiring careful remapping and ablation.
Premature ventricular complex (PVC) is one of the most common arrhythmias detected in young patients. We report a case of a young patient with symptomatic high-burden PVC suspected to originate from the posterior right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) who underwent an electrophysiology study (EPS) and was subsequently successfully ablated with markedly reduced PVC burden. The following day, it was noted that there was a change in PVC morphology. A repeat 3D electroanatomical mapping localized the second PVC morphology to posterolateral RVOT and abolished it with radiofrequency ablation (RFA).
