Radiofrequency ablation of idiopathic left anterior fascicular tachycardia.
INTRODUCTION A 45-year-old man with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT) having a right bundle branch block configuration with right-axis deviation underwent an electrophysiologic test. METHODS AND RESULTS Mapping demonstrated a site on the anterobasal wall of the left ventricle where there was an excellent pace map and an endocardial activation time of -20 msec, but radiofrequency cathete...
متن کاملNon-contact mapping-guided ablation of ventricular arrhythmias originating from the pulmonary artery.
AIMS To identify unique electrophysiological characteristics of pulmonary artery (PA) ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and determine long-term clinical outcomes following non-contact mapping (NCM)-guided ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS The NCM array was deployed in consecutive patients undergoing clinically indicated ablation of outflow tract (OT) VA with left bundle branch block morphology, inferi...
متن کاملElectroanatomic mapping of the left ventricle in a porcine model of chronic myocardial infarction with magnetic resonance-based catheter tracking.
BACKGROUND X-ray fluoroscopy constitutes the fundamental imaging modality for catheter visualization during interventional electrophysiology procedures. The minimal tissue discriminative capability of fluoroscopy is mitigated in part by the use of electroanatomic mapping systems and enhanced by the integration of preacquired 3-dimensional imaging of the heart with computed tomographic or magnet...
متن کاملEpicardial catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia in no entry left ventricle: mechanical aortic and mitral valves.
BACKGROUND In patients with mechanical aortic and mitral valves and left ventricular tachycardia, catheter ablation may be prevented by limited access to the left ventricle. METHODS AND RESULTS In our series of 6 patients, 2 patients underwent direct surgical ablation and 4 underwent epicardial catheter ablation via a pericardial window. All patients had abnormal low voltage areas with fracti...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Electromechanical Mapping for Determination of Myocardial Function and Viability*
Left ventricular electromechanical mapping (LVEMM, also termed NOGA or Biosense procedure) is derived from a diagnostic and navigational guidance tool that utilizes ultralow magnetic-field sources and location sensor-tipped catheter electrodes that trace the catheter-tip position in three-dimensional (3D) space (1–3). The system reconstructs electromechanical maps of the left ventricle with min...
