A 14-year-old girl with right ventricular dysplasia and recurrent drug refractory ventricular tachycardia underwent thoracoscopic mapping cryoablation. Good access to the right ventricular free wall was obtained. We suggest this technique may have an important role in the management of patients with right ventricular tachycardia.
