ICD implantation was performed due to only one of three morphologic VPCs ablation

CMUH

After ICD implantation

Spontaneous idiopathic VF with near syncope was noted. Aborted ICD shock due to spontaneous termination.

Disscussion

CMUH

After ablation, 24 ± 28 months, 24 patients (89%) in 27 patients had no recurrence of ventricular fibrillation without drug.

CMUH

Characteristics of Patients

Twenty-seven consecutive patients underwent attempted ablation of primary idiopathic VF in 6 centers
