Ventricular tachycardia arising from the right ventricular outflow tract is one of the common forms of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia. One of the major challenges in mapping and ablation of idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract ventricular tachycardia is noninducibility. Direct stimulation of sympathetic nerves innervating the right ventricular outflow may provide an alternative approach to induce arrhythmia. We report a case of idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia in whom tachycardia was noninducible by aggressive conventional stimulation protocols, which was induced by high-frequency stimulation of proximal pulmonary artery and was successfully ablated.
右心室流出道室性心动过速是特发性室性心动过速的常见形式之一。在特发性右心室流出道室性心动过速的标测和消融中,主要挑战之一是非诱发性。直接刺激支配右心室流出道的交感神经可能提供一种诱导心律失常的替代方法。我们报告了一例特发性右心室流出道心动过速患者,该患者经积极的传统刺激方案不能诱发心动过速,但经近端肺动脉高频刺激可诱发心动过速,并成功消融。
