摘要
Introduction: Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) typically has a single morphology originating either in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) or near the posterior fascicle of the left ventricle (LV) in most instances, We present our observations in six patients with idiopathic VT in whom two morphologies were present. Methods and Results: Of 55 patients with idiopathic VT who underwent radiofrequency (RF) ablation, 44 had LV "fascicular" tachycardia, whereas 11 had RVOT tachycardia, During RF energy delivery, there was a change in VT morphology in two patients with idiopathic LV tachycardia, This second morphology was not ablated initially, recurred at follow-up, and was reablated successfully, In two additional patients with idiopathic LV tachycardia, a second VT was inducible after ablation of the "clinical" VT, This second morphology recurred at follow-up and was ablated successfully in one patient. The site where the second VT was ablated in all the three patients was remote from that of the first VT. In two patients with RVOT tachycardia, a second VT, originating from a different area of the RVOT, was induced after RF ablation of the "clinical" VT. This second VT recurred at follow-up and was reablated successfully in one patient. Conclusion: Idiopathic VT is a more heterogenous entity than hitherto believed. A second VT was seen in 11% of patients during or after RF ablation of the "clinical" VT, The appearance of a second VT suggests either a different exit site of the same circuit or another site of origin.
