title: Catheter Ablation of Recurrent Ventricular Fibrillation: A Literature Review and Case Examples.
abstract: Ventricular fibrillation (VF) electrical storm is a serious and life-threatening event, and is often triggered by premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). Catheter ablation of these PVC triggers have been described in a variety of clinical situations, including post-myocardial infarction (MI), patients with structurally normal heart, as well as in patients with Brugada Syndrome and Long QT Syndrome. We provide a literature review on this topic, using case examples for illustration.
