| Abstract: | A 61-year-old woman with dilated cardiomyopathy, who previously underwent successful radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial flutter, developed monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). The site of VT origin was the inferobasal right ventricle adjacent to the previous atrial isthmus ablation area. The most likely mechanism for the VT was scar-related reentry, the scar being the result of previous radiofrequency lesions in the atrial isthmus. The VT was successfully ablated. |
