pubmed:abstractText
Recurrent ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation were observed immediately after RF ablation of the AV junction in a 64-year-old man. This arrhythmia was preceded by ventricular bigeminy and a long-short sequence. It was not associated with prolongation of the QT interval compared to baseline, and recurred 3 months later despite ventricular pacing at 90 beats/min. This is the first reported case of sustained ventricular arrhythmia complicating RF AV junction ablation despite rapid ventricular pacing, and recurring 3 months after discharge. It may explain the rare cases of sudden death complicating this procedure.
