Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (PsA) is a rare complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of cardiac arrhythmias. Presentation can vary widely in terms of timeline, signs, and symptoms. Idioventricular rhythm is a rare presentation of PsA post-ablation. No cases of post-ablation PsA presenting with idioventricular rhythm have been reported in the literature to date.A 72-year-old male presented with symptomatic idioventricular rhythm 34 days post RFA for premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). A PsA involving the distal anterolateral of his left ventricle wall was identified on transthoracic echo and computed tomography (CT). This patient underwent surgical patch repair which resolved his ventricular arrhythmia.
