Key result
Radiofrequency ablation successfully terminates recurrent fascicular tachycardia after orthotopic heart transplantation.
Why the study?
Arrhythmias following orthotopic cardiac transplantation are not always related to rejection, and other potentially reversible causes should be considered.

May support ablation for refractory post-transplant fascicular tachycardia; leaves open generalizability beyond single cases.
Case Report (n=1)
Arrhythmias following cardiac transplantation are not always related to rejection and can be successfully managed with radiofrequency ablation if a specific mechanism like fascicular tachycardia is identified.
Clarke et al. (1998) conducted a case report in Fascicular tachycardia after orthotopic cardiac transplantation (n=1). Radiofrequency ablation was evaluated on Management of arrhythmia. Radiofrequency ablation successfully managed recurrent fascicular tachycardia in a 51-year-old male following orthotopic cardiac transplantation.
