Summary
This case study details sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) in a patient with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, originating from a single re-entrant circuit with two distinct exits. Findings highlight complexities in mapping VT origins and inform ablation strategies.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
- Cardiac Surgery
Background:
- Tetralogy of Fallot repair can lead to complex ventricular arrhythmias.
- Sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) poses a significant clinical challenge, especially with multiple exit sites.
