A 59-year-old woman was referred to the institution with burdens of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (IVT). Electroanatomic mapping revealed a complex fractionated, high frequency potential with long duration preceding the QRS onset of the IVT. The real end point of ablation was the disappearance of the conduction block of Purkinje potential during the sinus rhythm besides the disappearance of the inducible tachycardia. Location of distal catheter was at the moderator band (MB) by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Only irrigated radiofrequency current was delivered at both insertions of the MB which can completely eliminate the IVT.

Abstract Aims The mechanisms of the QRS complex axis deviation changing of idiopathic left fascicular ventricular tachycardia (FVT) during or after radiofrequency catheter ablation were investigated in this study, which were still not well defined. Methods and results In the index procedure, FVTs characterized by right bundle branch block configuration and left-axis deviation (LAD-FVT) were ablated at the VT exit site guided by the earliest ventricular activation with fused presystolic Purkinje potential (PP) in 234 consecutive patients. A new type of FVT characterized by right-axis deviation (RAD-FVT) was identified after successful elimination of the LAD-FVT in 12 patients, including 9 patients during the index procedure and 3 patients during follow-up. The QRS duration of RAD-FVT was shorter than that of LAD-FVT (115.3 ± 15.2 vs. 125.3 ± 16.4 ms, P = 0.006). The RAD-FVTs showed an earliest ventricle activation site localized at anterior fascicle area in 11 patients and anterior-median fascicle area in 1. However, the earliest PP during the RAD-FVT was still identified within the posterior fascicular network. Elimination of the RAD-FVTs was successfully achieved by applying radiofrequency current at a more proximal site within the left posterior fascicular network guided by the earliest PP. After a mean of 1.6 ± 0.8 ablation procedures and median follow-up of 132 (range 19–216) months since the last procedure, no recurrence was observed in any patients. Conclusion The axis deviation changing of QRS complex in FVT may be attributed to the different exit sites of the reentry.
