We performed radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia in six children. In four, the ventricular tachycardia originated in the left ventricle, in two it originated in the right ventricular outflow tract. In 5/6 (83%) the RF procedure was successful; there were no complications.
