A 41-year-old woman with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) underwent the implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), in which the defibrillator electrode was unusually located in the right ventricular (RV) outflow tract. Although fractionated electrograms were demonstrated in the RV apex, which is the usual site for ICD electrodes, normal electrograms were recorded in the RV outflow tract during an electrophysiologic study. An electrode with a screw-in tip was used to fix the implant in the RV outflow tract and obtain successful defibrillation. If normal electrograms are recorded in the RV outflow tract, the site may prove to be an alternative location for an ICD electrode even for ARVD patients. (Jpn Circ J 2001; 65: 994 - 996)
