May warrant vigilance for late ventricular arrhythmia after AV junction ablation; single case leaves open incidence and prevention strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the rare but severe complication of recurrent sustained ventricular arrhythmia following RF AV junction ablation, which may explain sudden death cases post-procedure.
Azar et al. (1998) conducted a case report in Recurrent ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atrioventricular junction was evaluated on Recurrent ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the atrioventricular junction was complicated by recurrent sustained ventricular arrhythmia despite rapid ventricular pacing, recurring 3 months after discharge.
