Abstract EN
We describe a technical challenge in a 17-year-old patient with incessant epicardial focal ventricular arrhythmia and diminished LV function.
Failure of ablation at the earliest activated endocardial site during ectopy suggested an epicardial origin, which was supported by specific electrocardiographic criteria.
Epicardial ablation was not possible due to the localization of the origin of the ventricular tachycardia adjacent to the phrenic nerve.
Minimal invasive surgical multielectrode high-density epicardial mapping was performed to localize the arrhythmia focus.
Epicardial surgical RF ablation resulted in the termination of ventricular ectopy.
After 2 years, the patient is still free from arrhythmias.
