Abstract
Activation and pacemapping in the pulmonary artery (PA) should be considered if the PVC morphology suggests the RVOT as the site of origin. Partial success or unsuccessful ablation for PVC, which appear to be originating from RVOT, could be secondary to its origin from PA instead of RVOT. Mapping can be safely performed in the PA under ICE visualization.
