【 摘 要 】

We report 3 cases (mean age 48.3 ± 11.6 years) of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF), in which a triggering premature ventricular complex leading to IVF could not be identified. All patients underwent posterior fascicle transection with empirical linear ablation of the mid-Purkinje potentials identified along the left ventricular interventricular inferior septum, and no ventricular fibrillation recurrence was documented in any of the patients. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
