Abstract
Surgical treatment for ventricular tachycardia associated with congenital cardiac tumors is rare. Intraoperative electroanatomic mapping was performed in a 23-month-old female infant to identify the arrhythmogenic substrate of the epicardium before tumor resection. Verification of the localized abnormal electrocardiogram on the tumor in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia was useful for successful partial resection and cryoablation of the giant fibroma.
