RESUMO
Patients and methods:
We report six patients (five male), aged 35 years old as a mean, with idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia that were subject to conventional electrophysiological studies with atrial and ventricular simulation programs and radiofrequency fulguration, between December 1993 and May 1996.Results:
The mean lapse of disease was 24 months and five patients received antiarrytmic medications previously. All tachycardias had a morphology with an image of right bundle branch block. Radiofrequency fulguration was done after obtaining a satisfactory pace mapping of at least 11 of the 12 superficial EKG derivations. The procedure was successful in five patients and two had a relapse. One of the relapsed patients was successfully fulgurated again.Conclusions:
Radiofrequency fulguration for idiopathic ventricular tachycardias is a safe and effective therapeutic procedure
