Assessing epicardial substrate using intracardiac echocardiography during VT ablation.
BACKGROUND Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has played a limited role in defining the substrate for ventricular tachycardia (VT). The purpose of this study was to assess whether ICE could identify abnormal epicardial substrate in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and VT. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 18 patients with NICM and recurrent VT who had abnormal echogenicity identi...
متن کاملEpicardial ablation for ventricular tachycardia: a European multicenter study.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to describe the epicardial percutaneous ablation experience of 6 European high-volume ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation centers. METHODS AND RESULTS Data from 218 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD, n=85 [39.0%]), idiopathic dilated of patients with idiopathic VT cardiomyopathy (IDCM, n=67 [30.7%]), arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasi...
متن کاملEpicardial radiofrequency ablation on a beating heart: an experimental study.
PURPOSE The effect of epicardial radiofrequency ablation (RFA) during normal heart beating was experimentally studied in order to establish safe and effective procedures for RFA. METHODS Seven pigs weighing approximately 30 to 50 kg were used in this study. Fifty-one epicardial RFA lesions were created on both atria using a Cobra Cooled probe with continuous internal irrigation of a saline so...
متن کاملProlonged high-power endocardial ablation of epicardial microreentrant VT from the LV summit in a patient with nonischemic cardiomyopathy
Introduction Epicardial mapping and ablation have emerged in the last decade as a strategy to increase the success rate for the eradication of arrhythmogenic circuits in complex scar substrates. It has been established that epicardial mapping and ablation are generally required for some arrhythmic substrates such as in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, Brugada syndrome, Chagas cardiom...
متن کاملEpicardial Ablation For Ventricular Tachycardia
Epicardial ablation has lately become a necessary tool to approach some ventricular tachycardias in different types of cardiomyopathy. Its diffusion is now limited to a few high volume centers not because of the difficulty of the pericardial puncture but since it requires high competence not only in the VT ablation field but also in knowing and recognizing the possible complications each of whi...
