Transcoronary ethanol ablation for recurrent ventricular tachycardia after failed catheter ablation: an update.
BACKGROUND Despite substantial progress, radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) fails in some patients. After encouraging results with transcoronary ethanol ablation (TCEA), we began offering TCEA routinely when endocardial and epicardial RFCA failed or a deep intramural substrate was likely. METHODS AND RESULTS Among 274 consecutive patients who underwent 408 ventricular tachycardia (VT) ab...
متن کاملTranscoronary Ethanol Ablation For Ventricular Tachycardia
RRadiofrequency catheter ablation is a well established modality of treatment for ventricular tachycardia (VT). But it may not be successful in certain cases when the re-entrant circuit is situated deep within the myocardium and inaccessible to both endocardial and epicardial ablation. One of the earliest reports on transcoronary ethanol ablation of refractory ventricular tachycardia was by Ino...
متن کاملTranscoronary Chemical Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia
After identification of the artery supplying blood to the arrhythmogenic area, transcoronary chemical ablation of ventricular tachycardia was undertaken in three patients with incessant tachycardia in whom the other therapeutic options had failed. Sterile ethanol (96%) was given at a dose of 1.5 ml in two patients and a total of 6 ml in the third. The arrhythmia was cured in two patients and su...
متن کاملTranscoronary chemical ablation of ventricular tachycardia.
Transcoronary chemical ablation of ventricular tachycardia was recently performed in one patient with refractory ventricular tachycardia in our hospital. The procedure was successful. The arrhythmia was cured and no recurrence occurred in a 24-month period. The clinical application and mechanism of transcoronary chemical ablation were discussed.
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 ...
