Abstract

Premature ventricular complex (PVC) is one of the most common arrhythmias detected in young patients. We report a case of a young patient with symptomatic high-burden PVC suspected to originate from the posterior right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) who underwent an electrophysiology study (EPS) and was subsequently successfully ablated with markedly reduced PVC burden. The following day, it was noted that there was a change in PVC morphology. A repeat 3D electroanatomical mapping localized the second PVC morphology to posterolateral RVOT and abolished it with radiofrequency ablation (RFA).

Keywords: 3d electrophysiology mapping; catheter ablation; high pvc burden; posterolateral pvc; radiofrequency ablation.
