This case report describes the rare phenomenon of malignant conversion of benign right ventricular outflow tract ventricular tachycardia into idiopathic ventricular fibrillation 18 years after successful ablation, in the absence of any type of heart disease. We review the current literature looking at predictors for this event, with the conclusion that there are no reliable risk predictors available. Until clear guidelines exist, we suggest patients be informed and monitored for the possibility of "malignant conversion" following ablation for benign idiopathic outflow tract ventricular tachycardia.
良性右心室流出道室性心动过速在成功消融18年后,在没有任何类型心脏病的情况下,恶化为特发性心室颤动。我们回顾了当前关于该事件预测因素的文献,得出的结论是目前尚无可靠的风险预测指标。在明确的指导方针出台之前,我们建议告知患者,并对良性特发性流出道室性心动过速消融术后“恶性转化”的可能性进行监测。
