Radiofrequency ablation successfully treated drug-resistant ventricular ectopy originating from the right ventricular outflow tract. This indicates radiofrequency ablation may benefit patients with symptomatic, benign arrhythmias.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Electrophysiology
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a standard treatment for non-ischaemic ventricular tachycardia.
  • Some patients experience symptomatic ventricular ectopy, often benign, originating from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT).

Observation:

  • A case report details a patient with drug-resistant, symptomatic ventricular ectopy.
  • The ectopy was successfully mapped to the RVOT.

Findings:

  • Radiofrequency ablation was successfully employed to treat the patient's symptomatic ventricular ectopy.
  • This demonstrates the efficacy of RFA in managing drug-resistant RVOT ectopy.

Implications:

  • Radiofrequency ablation may be a viable therapeutic option for benign arrhythmias.
