We report an eight month old infant who presented with incessant Fascicular tachycardia and heart failure which was refractory to drugs and cardioversion. Sinus rhythm was restored by radio frequency ablation and this resulted in improvement in clinical status and cardiac function. Role of catheter ablation in this situation is discussed.
