Combined electroanatomic mapping and cryoablation of incessant ventricular premature beats from the left aortic sinus of Valsalva

A case of a young man with incessant idiopathic ventricular premature beats originating from the left aortic sinus of Valsalva is presented. Localization of the ectopic focus and its anatomic relation to the left main coronary artery was identified using electroanatomic mapping and angiography. Painless and safe destruction of the ectopic focus was completed with cryoablation.

Keywords: idiopathic ventricular ectopy, aortic sinus of Valsalva, cryoablation
