Successful surgical ablation of reentrant ventricular tachycardia caused by myocardial fibroma.
1984
We successfully removed a fibroma of the left ventricle in a 13-year-old boy. The tumor had caused recurrent ventricular tachycardia, which was resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs. Preoperative and intraoperative electrophysiological studies led to a diagnosis of reentrant ventricular tachycardia. After surgical excision of the tumor, the ventricular tachycardia stopped completely and until now, 1 year after the operation, no antiarrhythmic drugs have been required.
