We report a case of catheter ablation of Brugada syndrome in a patient with refractory ventricular fibrillation despite quinidine therapy. We performed epicardial substrate mapping, which identified an area of abnormal fractionated, prolonged electrogram in the anterior right ventricular outflow tract. Warm saline infusion into the pericardial space induced further delay of the local electrogram, consistent with Brugada syndrome physiology.
