Key result
Endovascular catheter ablation successfully terminated sustained ventricular tachycardia and rendered it non-inducible in a patient with a surgically repaired congenital left ventricular aneurysm.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Endocardial catheter ablation can be successfully performed to treat sustained ventricular tachycardia in patients with a surgically repaired congenital left ventricular aneurysm.
Endocardial ablation may terminate VT in repaired congenital LV aneurysm; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective validation before practice change.
We present a patient with a congenital left ventricular aneurysm who visited our outpatient clinic for a routine check-up and, during this visit, lost consciousness due to sustained ventricular tachycardia. In our patient, endocardial mapping revealed extensive conduction abnormalities, and successful ablation was accomplished at the endocardial surface.

Ramdjan et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Ventricular tachycardia with congenital left ventricular aneurysm (n=1). Endovascular catheter ablation was evaluated on Termination and non-inducibility of clinical ventricular tachycardia. Endovascular catheter ablation successfully terminated sustained ventricular tachycardia and rendered it non-inducible in a patient with a surgically repaired congenital left ventricular aneurysm.
