Treatment

1

TOF (neonatally repaired)

Monomorphic VT—RVOT VT

VT captured on ECG

Surgical ablation at time of PVR

2

ASD and VSD (closure in infancy)

SVT—Atypical AVNRT

Tachycardia alert with symptoms

Successful cryoablation

3

Outlet VSD (repair in infancy)

SVT—AVRT due to concealed left sided AP

SVT captured on ECG

Successful RF ablation

4

Valvar PS (mild)

SVT—Typical AVNRT

Tachycardia alert with symptoms

Successful cryoablation

5

Ebstein’s Anomaly, LVNC (s/p OHT)

Atrial flutter

Atrial flutter captured on ECG

Successful cardioversion
