Abstract

A 68-year-old patient with history of recent coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) was admitted to our hospital with incessant monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) and was treated successfully with radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA). A new electrophysiological study 3 months post ablation induced no arrhythmia and no implantable cardioverter- defibrillator (ICD) was implanted. Key words: ventricular tachycardia, coronary artery bypass surgery, ablation
