| Summary: | A 38-year-old female patient with a history of tetralogy of Fallot repair at 10 years of age underwent pulmonary
valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis, tricuspid annuloplasty, and right ventricular outflow
tract cryoablation due to pulmonary regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, and multiple premature ventricular
contractions with sustained ventricular tachycardia. After surgery, she had an uneventful postoperative course
with arrhythmia monitoring. She was discharged without incident, and a follow-up Holter examination
showed a decrease in the number of ventricular ectopic beats from 702 to 41. |
