AbstractIn some patients with Kawasaki disease, a prior myocardial infarction causes ventricular tachycardia in the chronic post-myocardial infarction phase. We report the case of a 41-year-old man with symptomatic and haemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia in whom substrate ablation was performed for the ventricular tachycardia before insertion of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.

In patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF), recurrent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks might increase mortality risk and reduce patients’ quality of life. Catheter ablation of triggering ectopic beats is considered to be an effective method. We present a patient with recurrent VF, caused by the “R on T” premature ventricular complexes. In the presented case radiofrequency catheter ablation efficiently eliminated arrhythmia trigger, which was possible to detect thanks to the intracardiac electrocardiograms (ECG’s) stored in the ICD.
