Left ventricular outflow tract tachycardia originating from the right coronary cusp: identification of location of origin by endocardial noncontact activation mapping from the right ventricular outflow tract.
Idiopathic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) tachycardia has been shown to originate from a supravalvular site in some patients. Considerable attention recently has focused on identifying this variant of LVOT tachycardia on 12-lead ECG. We report the case of 15-year-old boy in whom a noncontact three-dimensional mapping electrode deployed in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) assisted in identifying a supravalvular LVOT tachycardia. Observation of two early breakthrough sites in the RVOT and right ventricular septum suggested a right aortic cusp origin of the tachycardia. Pace mapping in the right aortic cusp identified a successful ablation site.
