Abstract

Bundle branch reentrant tachycardia (BBRT) is an uncommon form of ventricular tachycardia involving diseased bundle branches. Phase IV bundle branch block also accompanies severe His-Purkinje disease. We present an unusual case of BBRT in a patient who also manifests a unique self-perpetuating cycle of AV block and phase IV left bundle branch block following aortic valve surgery. BBRT was treated successfully by ablation of the right bundle.
