A case of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) with two possible exits from one re-entrant circuit is described in this paper. The patient was a 27-year-old female who had undergone corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot at the age of 8, and developed VT of distinctly different QRS configurations. The exit of one VT was at the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract and the other at the RV apex as determined by endocardial and pace-mapping. Continuous and split activities were observed at the RV outflow tract during both types of VT. One VT was entrained by rapid pacings, and the causal mechanism was thought to be re-entry and common re-entrant circuit was established for two QRS configurations of VTs. A discrepancy was observed between the site of the earliest activation and the site of the pace-mapping which resulted in QRS configuration of VT of the RV apex origin. The findings in this paper should be considered when contemplating aggressive therapy such as electrical ablation.
