Overview

Supports targeted Purkinje VPB ablation in refractory VF; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does catheter ablation of Purkinje-related VPBs prevent recurrent VF in a patient with structural heart disease?

P
Population
17-year-old patient with recurrent ventricular fibrillation (VF) after aortic valve repair of a perforated noncoronary cusp with resulting severe aortic regurgitation, refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs.
I
Intervention
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of ventricular premature beats (VPBs) originating from the Purkinje fibers (anteroseptal and inferoseptal areas of the left ventricle).
O
Outcome
VF recurrencehard clinical

Catheter ablation of Purkinje-related VPBs can successfully prevent recurrent VF in patients with structural heart disease.
