Re-entrant ventricular tachycardia as a complication of ablation of idiopathic ventricular premature beats from the right outflow tract: a case report.

Cardiac workup allowed to exclude specific conditions such as arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, tetralogy of Fallot, sarcoidosis, or myocarditis as a cause for NSVT from the RVOT. The epi and endocardial map showed residual scar subsequent to the first ablation which served as substrate for the re-entrant NSVT. This is the first case which describes NSVT from the epicardial RVOT as a complication from a previous endocardial ablation for idiopathic VPB.
