Longterm remission of left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia due to mechanical trauma.

چکیده
We present a case of a 28 year old woman with paroxysmal left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia (LPFVT). Ventricular tachycardia was not inducible after completing of left ventricle 3D reconstruction. Even though catheter ablation was not performed, no LPFVT recurrence has been documented during 60 months follow-up. We surmise that we caused mechanical trauma during the mapping of the posterior fascicle that damaged arrhythmogenic structures and subsequently led to long term remission of the left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia.

Catheter ablation for successful management of left posterior fascicular tachycardia: an approach guided by recording of fascicular potentials.
OBJECTIVE To assess whether catheter ablation of fascicular tachycardia can be facilitated by the recording of sharp deflections arising from the mid-septum---inferior apical septum of the left ventricle. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seven consecutive patients (mean age 29 (range 16-43) years) with ventricular tachycardia originating from the left posterior fascicle underwent electrophysiology study ...
متن کاملIdiopathic Fascicular Ventricular Tachycardia
Idiopathic fascicular ventricular tachycardia is an important cardiac arrhythmia with specific electrocardiographic features and therapeutic options. It is characterized by relatively narrow QRS complex and right bundle branch block pattern. The QRS axis depends on which fascicle is involved in the re-entry. Left axis deviation is noted with left posterior fascicular tachycardia and right axis ...
متن کاملInsights into the mechanism of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia: a case report and literature review
Left ventricular posterior fascicular tachycardia (LVPFT) is an idiopathic form of VT characterized by right bundle branch block morphology and left axis deviation. The mechanism of LPFVT is thought to be localized reentry close to the posterior fascicle. We present the case of a 24-year-old medical student who was admitted to the emergency department complaining of palpitations. The ECG showed...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Fascicular Ventricular Tachycardia
Fascicular ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an idiopathic VT with right bundle branch block morphology and left-axis deviation occuring predominantly in young males. Fascicular tachycardia has been classified into three subtypes namely, left posterior fascicular VT, left anterior fascicular VT and upper septal fascicular VT. The mechanism of this tachycardia is believed to be localized reentry c...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Catheter Ablation in a Patient with Tachycardiomyopathy due to Incessant Fascicular Tachycardia
Fascicular tachycardia (FT) arising from the left posterior fascicle, one of the most common forms of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT), is considered benign. Herein is presented our experience of a 25-year-old man presenting with palpitation, dyspnea and dilated cardiomyopathy due to drug-refractory FT who was successfully treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation. Echocardiography s...
