This case report describes VT with figure eight pattern originating from the right ventricle in a 33-year-old patient with cardiac sarcoidosis. Multiple radiofrequency linear ablation could abolish the VT, and this patient has been clinically free from symptoms of VT during a 6-month follow-up. (PACE 2004; 27:561–562)
