Premature Ventricular Contraction-Induced Symptomatic Slow Pathway Conduction Successfully Treated by Catheter Ablation

Premature ventricular contraction-induced symptomatic slow pathway conduction successfully treated by catheter ablation.

Catheter Ablation of Parahisian Premature Ventricular Complex

Catheter ablation is performed in selected patients with a symptomatic premature ventricular complex (PVC) or PVC-induced cardiomyopathy. Ablation of PVC from the His region has a high risk of inducing a complete atrioventricular block. Here we report successful catheter ablation of a parahisian PVC in a 63-year-old man.

Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Premature Complexes

Frequent ventricular premature complexes (VPC) can result in left ventricular dysfunction. Several case reports have found this association and reversal with radiofrequency ablation [1-4]. Other peculiar problems reported to be due to VPCs and relieved by radiofrequency ablation include intermittent claudication [5], chronic cough with cough syncope [6,7] and dysphagia [8], mostly by the same g...

Catheter ablation of symptomatic idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias

Aims This study was designed to gain insight into the patient characteristics, results and possible complications of ablation procedures for symptomatic idiopathic premature ventricular complexes (PVC) and idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT). Methods Data were collected from all patients who underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation for symptomatic PVCs and idiopathic VT in the Catharina H...

Tachycardiomyopathy Induced by Ventricular Premature Complexes: Complete Recovery after Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

Ventricular premature complexes (VPCs) are known to be one of the most benign cardiac arrhythmias when they occur in structurally normal hearts. We experienced a 32-year old man who presented with dyspnea, palpitations and very frequent VPCs (31% of the total heart beats). Echocardiography revealed a dilated left ventricle (LV 66 mm at end-diastole and 57 mm at end-systole) and a decreased ejec...
