A pediatric patient with medically refractory idiopathic ventricular tachycardia was successfully treated by surgical laser ablation. Application of laser on the normothermic beating heart enables continuous electrophysiological assessment. The histopathology of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia and the advantages of laser ablation are presented.
