Ablaçäo por cateter de taquicardia de via de saída de ventrículo direito utilizando radiofrequência como fonte de energia / Catheter ablation of tachycardia of the outlet right ventricle using radiofrequency as power source

ABSTRACT

Two female patients, 54 and 38 years-old with refractory ventricular tachycardia were undertaken to electrophysiologic study for diagnosis and radiofrequency ablation of their arrhythmias. The tachycardias were only inducible with intravenous isoproterenol infusion. The site of the origin of ventricular tachycardia was localized in the right ventricular outflow tract in both cases. Radiofrequency current was delivered at 40V (40-60s) in each patient and was followed by complete abolition of ventricular arrhythmias
