Abstract

Catheter ablation of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) is an effective treatment when disabling symptoms or ectopy-induced cardiomyopathy are present in patients refractory to pharmacological therapy [1,2]. When PVCs originate close to His bundle, radiofrequency ablation is burdened by unacceptable risk of conduction pathways damage or atrio-ventricular block [3]. Here we report a case of a patient with highly symptomatic ventricular ectopy originating close to His bundle undergoing successfull cathetercryoablation.
