Left ventricular apical aneurysms are associated with scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients. We present a patient with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy who underwent combined epicardial and endocardial VT ablation of a left ventricular apical aneurysm, necessitating repeat endocardial VT ablation through a recanalized surgical plication.
