Right coronary cusp as a new window of ablation for pilsicainide-induced ventricular premature contractions in a patient with Brugada syndrome.
Heart and Vessels 2016 August
A previous study demonstrated that ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are provoked during sodium channel blocker challenge tests in Brugada syndrome (BrS) patients (Morita et al., J Am Coll Cardiol 42:1624-1631, 2003). The right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is a major arrhythmogenic focus and isolated VPCs originating from that area have been shown to initiate VF (Kakishita et al., J Am Coll Cardiol 36:1646-1653, 2000). Here, we describe a case report of a BrS patient with VPCs arising from the posterior aspect of the RVOT epicardium which was provoked by a low-dose of pilsicainide, a pure sodium channel blocker, and was successfully ablated from the right coronary cusp.
