Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is one of the most prevalent cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD). Subsequent to the introduction of surgical repair, long-term outcomes for patients with ToF have improved significantly. Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) may be considered as an extreme form of classic ToF. Surgical repair not only corrects the haemodynamic but also creates scars that will be source for ventricular arrhythmias. Patients with tetralogy of Fallot are at risk for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. We present the successful treatment of a 7-years-old child with history of PA-VSD treated by surgical correction and ventricular tachycardia from an unusual anatomic place in the left ventricle summit (LVS), using catheter ablation.
