Abstract
We experienced a 41-year-old male with premature ventricular complexes/ventricular tachycardia from the left coronary cusp and distal great cardiac vein of the left ventricular outflow tract successfully treated by radiofrequency catheter ablation utilizing a 3D mapping system (EnSiteNavX/Velocity™ Cardiac Mapping System, St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) without any complications. <Learning objective: The approach from the distal great cardiac vein should be considered as a potential approach and may be one of the effective strategies for ablation of left ventricular outflow tract-premature ventricular complexes/ventricular tachycardia (PVC/VTs). Radiofrequency catheter ablation of frequent PVC/VTs may improve the clinical status and cardiac function.>.Entities:
