A rare case of scar-related ventricular tachycardia in the area of the sinus of Valsalva was presented in a patient late after surgically corrected dextro-transposition of the great arteries.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights a rare presentation of scar-related ventricular tachycardia originating from the sinus of Valsalva in a patient with previously repaired d-TGA.
The risk for life-threatening arrhythmia in patients with surgically corrected congenital heart disease is very low and is most commonly owing to scar in the area of a repaired ventricular septum defect or ischemia.1 We present a rare case of scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the area of the sinus of Valsalva (SV) late after surgically corrected dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA).
Krisai et al. (Fri,) conducted a case report in Ventricular tachycardia in repaired dextro-transposition of the great arteries (n=1). A rare case of scar-related ventricular tachycardia in the area of the sinus of Valsalva was presented in a patient late after surgically corrected dextro-transposition of the great arteries.
