[Radiofrequency ablation of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia].
Ablation by radiofrequency has recently come into use to treat cardiac arrhythmias, mostly supraventricular tachycardia. We describe 2 males aged 14 and 24, respectively, with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia. They underwent endocardial mapping and the exit points of the tachycardia were identified. In 1 of them tachycardia originated in the left ventricle, and the other in the outflow tract of the right ventricle. Radiofrequency ablation of the arrhythmia was successful in both.
