Transjugular approach for radiofrequency ablation of premature ventricular contractions originating from the superior tricuspid annulus.
We report a 33-year-old man with idiopathic frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) originating from the superior tricuspid annulus. The PVCs were successfully abolished via a transjugular approach because of poor contact of the ablation catheter via a femoral vein approach.
