Nonsurgical transthoracic epicardial catheter ablation to treat recurrent ventricular tachycardia occurring late after myocardial infarction.
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate feasibility, safety and results of transthoracic epicardial catheter ablation in patients with ventricular tachycardia occurring late after an inferior wall myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND Transthoracic epicardial catheter ablation effectively controls recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with Chagas' disease in whom epicardial circuits predomi...
متن کاملEndocardial and Epicardial Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation
Myocarditis is simply defined as an inflammatory condition mainly located in the heart muscle, although considerable uncertainties still persist as to its etiologic, pathological, and clinical subclassifications. In addition to the possibility of an aspecific flulike prodrome, possible presentations include different degrees of heart failure (ranging from cardiogenic shock to subtly progressive...
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 کامل[Percutaneous epicardial radiofrequency ablation of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia].
We describe 3 patients with ventricular tachycardia in whom epicardial ablation was done after prior attempts of endocardial ablation had failed. Clinical ventricular tachycardia originated at the right ventricular outflow tract in one patient and near the mitral annulus in another patient. In these two cases ventricular tachycardia was mapped and successfully ablated with a percutaneous subxip...
متن کاملFeasibility of Rapid Linear-Endocardial and Epicardial Ventricular Ablation Using an Irrigated Multipolar Radiofrequency Ablation Catheter.
BACKGROUND A common strategy for ablation of scar-based ventricular tachycardia is delivering multiple lesions in a linear pattern. METHODS AND RESULTS We tested the efficacy of a novel linear irrigated multipolar ablation catheter capable of creating linear lesions with a single application. Healthy swine underwent endocardial and epicardial linear ablation using a novel linear irrigated abl...
