Interplay between arrhythmias originating in the right ventricular outflow tract and the left coronary cusp

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2012 Dec;35(12):e356-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8159.2012.03408.x. Epub 2012 Apr 22.

Abstract

A 35-year-old man was referred for ablation of ventricular tachycardia with two different morphologies triggering each other. After elimination of the first arrhythmia in the right ventricular outflow tract, ablation of the second morphology was performed 8 mm below the left main stem after contrast injection into the left coronary cusp through the irrigated-tip ablation catheter.
