A 77-year-old man with frequent monomorphic ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) was referred for catheter ablation. Detailed mapping just above the pulmonary valve (PV) revealed tiny fragmented potentials earlier than the VPC onset. Perfect pace-mapping was obtained using high voltage pacing just above the PV and the left aortic sinus of Valsalva, whose stimulus-to-VPC latencies differed by 20 ms. While the ablation at the pulmonary valve could not completely eliminate the VPCs, unipolar sequential ablation on both sides of the outflow tracts led to their successful abolition that was guided by perfect pace-mapping.
