Outflow tract premature ventricular contractions (OT-PVCs) with an R wave pattern break in Lead V2 (PBV2) pose significant treatment challenges due to their refractory nature and complex anatomical origins. A 56-year-old male with drug-resistant palpitations underwent detailed electroanatomical mapping using a microcatheter to identify the earliest activation site. This precision mapping was crucial for directing the ablation strategy accurately. The "enveloped ablation" technique was employed, involving multisite, low-power ablations surrounding the critical activation site, tailored to address the unique electrical and structural characteristics of OT-PVCs with a PBV2. This case highlights the importance of accurate mapping and tailored ablation strategies in managing OT-PVCs with PBV2.
