Why the study?
Does radiofrequency ablation successfully treat drug-resistant, symptomatic ventricular ectopy?
Does radiofrequency ablation successfully treat drug-resistant, symptomatic ventricular ectopy?
Radiofrequency ablation may have a useful role in treating symptomatic but benign ventricular ectopy.
May support ablation consideration in refractory cases; leaves open need for prospective confirmation.
Radiofrequency ablation has an established role in the treatment of non-ischaemic ventricular tachycardia. A few patients present with symptomatic but benign ventricular ectopy that can be mapped to the right ventricular outflow tract. The successful use of radiofrequency ablation in a patient with drug resistant, symptomatic ventricular ectopy is reported. Radiofrequency ablation may have a useful role in more benign arrhythmias.
