Two unusual cases are presented with idiopathic right and left ventricular tachycardia (IVT) with intriguing clinical and electrophysiological characteristics. The first patient with a sustained IVT of right ventricular outflow tract origin, and an electrophysiological mechanism suggesting reentry, had been resuscitated from cardiac arrest. The second patient had an IVT with a left bundle branch block morphology, which originated from the basal-septal region of the left ventricle (left ventricular outflow tract tachycardia). Both patients were cured with radiofrequency catheter ablation, guided by endocardial activation sequence and pace mapping.
