چکیده
Percutaneous catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in structural heart disease is an important adjunctive treatment option to reduce overall VT burden and recurrence, ICD shocks hospitalization by eliminating or excluding the arrhythmogenic substrate.1 Yet, despite encouraging results with a trend towards improved survival registry data following ablation2 as well improvements preprocedural substrate characterization high density electro-anatomical 3D mapping, procedure times remain comparatively long, complication rates significant success certain subtypes are, at best, moderate.

Catheter ablation of hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia in ischemic cardiomyopathy using high‐resolution mapping
Catheter ablation is a recommended therapy option for ventricular tachycardia (VT). The antegrade transseptal approach for targeting VT with left ventricular origin is feasible with the high-resolution basket catheter. High-resolution mapping offers the potential to quickly acquire detailed voltage and activation maps. This may help to identify the crucial VT-substrate even in patients with hug...
متن کاملActivation and entrainment mapping of hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia using a percutaneous left ventricular assist device.
OBJECTIVES Our goal was to investigate the effects of percutaneous left ventricular assist device (pLVAD) support during catheter ablation of unstable ventricular tachycardia (VT). BACKGROUND Mechanical cardiac support during ablation of unstable VT is being increasingly used, but there is little available information on the potential hemodynamic benefits. METHODS Twenty-three consecutive p...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this work was to assess efficacy of radiofrequency (RF) ablation of fast ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) guided by noncontact mapping. BACKGROUND Ventricular tachycardias after repair of TOF are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. METHODS Ten patients after surgical repair of TOF underwent el...
متن کاملHigh-Density Mapping in Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation: A PentaRay® Study
Background High-density mapping of ventricular tachycardia (VT) with PentaRay® (Biosense-Webster) provides high resolution with discrimination of local abnormal electrograms and slow conducting channels. We evaluate the feasibility of PentaRay® to characterize the anatomical substrate and assume an influence of the outcome despite limitations. Methods Over a 24-month period, 26 endocardial an...
متن کاملThe electrical circuit of a hemodynamically unstable and recurrent ventricular tachycardia diagnosed in 35 s with the Rhythmia mapping system
Herein, we report a 47-year-old woman with ischemic cardiomyopathy who underwent ablation therapy due to an electrical storm without any triggers. The voltage mapping in sinus rhythm with the Rhythmia system and Orion catheter displayed several LAVAs in and around the anteroapical scar area. Although the patient did not tolerate the induced clinical ventricular tachycardia, which was reproducti...
