title: Radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia originating in the left anterior fascicle.
abstract: Radiofrequency catheter ablation has been used to treat idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia with high success rates. The majority of reported cases have exhibited the typical findings of right bundle branch block morphology with left axis deviation and originate from within or near the left posterior fascicle. We report a case of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia originating from within or near the left anterior fascicle, which was successfully ablated using a local Purkinje potential as a guide.
