Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully eliminated symptomatic premature ventricular contractions and ventricular tachycardias originating from the tricuspid annulus in 91.43% of patients.
Why the study?
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation eliminate symptomatic idiopathic premature ventricular complexes and ventricular tachycardias originating from the vicinity of the tricuspid annulus in patients without structural heart disease?
Observational (n=35)
No

Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a highly effective and safe treatment for symptomatic idiopathic PVCs/IVTs originating from the tricuspid annulus, and specific 12-lead ECG characteristics can accurately localize the ablation site.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant consideration for ablation in symptomatic tricuspid annular PVCs/VTs; extends site-specific observational data but leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Li et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Idiopathic premature ventricular contractions and ventricular tachycardias originating from the vicinity of the tricuspid annulus (n=35). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Complete elimination of spontaneous or inducible premature ventricular contractions and ventricular tachycardias. Radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully eliminated symptomatic premature ventricular contractions and ventricular tachycardias originating from the tricuspid annulus in 91.43% of patients.
