A 51-year-old male developed recurrent episodes of palpitations and pre-syncope after surgical aortic valve replacement. Electrocardiograms after surgery revealed a wide complex tachycardia with alternating left bundle branch and right bundle branch block morphologies. An electrophysiology study (EPS) demonstrated typical bundle branch reentry ventricular tachycardia (BBRVT) treated successfully with right bundle ablation. We demonstrate the key diagnostic features of BBRVT on EPS, describe the circuit of BBRVT with explanation of the HV pseudointerval, and highlight the association of BBRVT and valve replacement.
