| Abstract: | A 20-year-old man with previous surgical repair of tetralogy of Falht was admitted with hemodynamically significant ventricular tachycardia that was terminated witb cardioversion. He was found at electropbysiological study to bave easily inducible ventricular tacbycardia that was mapped to the rigbt ventricular outflow tract. Radiofrequency catheter ablation of tbe ventricular tacbycardia focus rendered tbe patient's arrbytbmia noninducible. Tbis case represents a successful radiofrequency catbeter ablation of a ventricular tacbycardia focus associated witb tetralogy of Fallot repair. |
