dc.description.abstractTwo patients with recurrent episodes of symptomatic, sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) resistant to medical therapy underwent catheter ablation for the relief of VT. One patient had arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia while the other had no structural heart disease. The VT had left bundle branch block morphology with normal axis in both the patients. The cycle length during VT was 260 msec and 270 msec respectively. Site for ablation was guided by pacemapping and the target site was identified in the right ventricular outflow tract in both the patients. Two cathodal shocks of 200 J in the first patient and one shock of 200 J in the second patient resulted in abolition of the arrhythmia. At repeat electrophysiologic testing at 7 days in the first patient and at 8 months in the second, VT was not inducible despite three extrastimuli from two right ventricular sites. Over a follow up of 24 and 26 months respectively, there has been no recurrence without any antiarrhythmic therapy. There were no acute or long term complications. In conclusion, catheter ablation offers a cure in patients with right ventricular tachycardia resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs.en_US
