Implication
Hypothesis-generating for unipolar mapping in RVOT ectopy ablation; larger studies needed before changing practice.

Population
1 patient with symptomatic ventricular ectopy without apparent structural heart disease.

Intervention
Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by unipolar mapping

Outcome
Successful ablation of symptomatic ventricular ectopy
Unipolar mapping and magnetic resonance imaging can identify subtle structural abnormalities like focal thinning in patients with seemingly idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract ectopy, aiding in successful radiofrequency ablation.
Cite This Study
Merino et al. (1998) conducted a case report in Symptomatic ventricular ectopy (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by unipolar mapping was evaluated on Successful ablation. Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by unipolar mapping was successfully accomplished in a patient with symptomatic right ventricular outflow tract ectopy.
