title: Isolation of pulmonary vein and superior vena cava for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a young adult with left ventricular non-compaction.
abstract: We report a 19-year-old male patient with left ventricular non-compaction who presented with atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia. Ventricular tachycardia was induced by AF with rapid ventricular response, but was prevented by electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins and superior vena cava.
