Epicardial 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...
متن کاملCatheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia.
Sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an important cause of morbidity and sudden death in patients with heart disease.1 Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) terminate VT episodes, reducing the risk of sudden death. Recurrent VT develops in 40% to 60% of patients who receive an ICD after an episode of spontaneous sustained VT. A first episode of VT occurs in 20% of patients within ...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) most commonly develops in patients with structural heart disease. Myocardial infarction results in collagen replacement interspersed with surviving myocardium, which alters impulse propagation, facilitating re-entry.1 Aside from the postinfarction substrate, scar-mediated VT occurs in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy, Chagas disease, sarcoidosis, arrhythmoge...
متن کاملRadiofrequency catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia.
Radiofrequency energy was used for the ablation of chronic recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) in 58 patients who were divided into two groups: 44 cases with structural myocardial disease (36 men and 8 women: mean age 55 years; range: 14 to 85 years) with an average left ventricular ejection fraction of 38% (range: 15 to 80%): these patients had myocardial infarction (28 cases), arrhythmogen...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Ablation for Post Infarction Ventricular Tachycardia
Radiofrequency ablation has an important role in the management of post infarction ventricular tachycardia. The mapping and ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is complex and technically challenging. In the era of implantable cardioverter defibrillators, the role of radiofrequency ablation is most commonly reserved as an adjunctive treatment for patients with frequent, symptomatic episodes...
