Failure of radiofrequency catheter ablation and success of flecainide to suppress premature ventricular contractions in Andersen-Tawil syndrome: A case report.

This case report presents a 33-year-old woman with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). Her genetic testing was positive for KCNJ2 missense mutation at chr17:68171832;NM_000891.2. This mutation was compatible with Andersen-Tawil syndrome. We made an electrophysiological study to determine origin of PVCs however at endocardial mapping there was not any focus of PVC and at epicardial mapping we ablated low voltage areas in the inferior segments of both ventricles. She was discharged with flecainide and metoprolol therapy. After 3 months, her PVC burden was significantly decreased at Holter monitoring.
