Deskripsi
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as the preferred treatment modality with high success rate in cases with WPW syndrome. Arrhythmogenic complications are rarely reported after RFA, except for early or late recurrence of accessory pathway (AP) conduction. We present a unique case where the AP was successfully ablated, however, a new monomorphic PVC of similar morphology to the pre-excited beats developed within 30 min of RFA. She required medical management with sotalol to overcome her worsening symptom on follow-up. The ectopics resolved after 4 months.
