Early transient recurrence of ventricular fibrillation after catheter ablation of premature ventricular contraction from Purkinje fibers in two patients with myocardial infarction

We report two patients with MI in whom VF attacks were treated by CA targeting triggering PVCs, and these completely disappeared after the process of transient early VF recurrences. Two cases demonstrate that additional CA may not always be necessary even if VF has relapsed within several days after PVC elimination. When recurrences of VF attacks after the first CA are not so frequent, we will be able to observe patient for several days without performing additional CA.>
