  • Title: [Radiofrequency ablation of late ventricular tachycardia in patients with corrected Tetralogy of Fallot].
    Author: Rojel U, Cuesta A, Mont L, Brugada J.
    Journal: Arch Cardiol Mex; 2003; 73(4):275-9. PubMed ID: 14959452.
    Abstract:
    We present the cases of two patients with surgical repaired Tetralogy of Fallot and late ventricular tachycardia. In one patient, the ventricular tachycardia had a right bundle branch block pattern, and in the other, a left bundle branch block pattern. In both patients a macroreentrant circuit in the right ventricular outflow tract was documented; radiofrequency ablation was effective in both cases. This suggests that the morphology of the ventricular tachycardia in these patients could depend of the direction of the circuit into the right ventricular outflow tract and that mapping of this zone allows to localize the appropriate site for effective ablation.
