Electrode catheter ablation of refractory focal ventricular tachycardia.
نویسنده
چکیده
Localized, high energy, direct current intracardiac shocks effectively prevented recurrent ventricular tachycardia in one patient whose arrhythmia originated in the right ventricular outflow tract, and in two patients with ventricular septal tachycardia after myocardial infarction.

Feasibility 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...
متن کاملSuccessful Catheter Ablation of Focal Automatic Left Ventricular Tachycardia Presented with Tachycardia-Mediated Cardiomyopathy
Non-reentrant focal tachycardias occur spontaneously, facilitated by catecholamine infusion, but they cannot be initiated or terminated with programmed stimulation. These tachycardias exhibit early activation before the QRS, however, do not typically show the mid-diastolic potential that is crucial for reentrant tachycardia maintenance. Electrophysiological studies are useful for distinguishing...

متن کاملCryoablation for Ventricular Arrhythmias Arising From the Papillary Muscles of the Left Ventricle Guided by Intracardiac Echocardiography and Image Integration
METHODS Ten patients (70% men; median age: 38 years [range: 34 to 45 years]) with drug-refractory premature ventricular contractions or ventricular tachycardia underwent catheter cryoablation. VAs were localized using 3-dimensional (3D) mapping, multidetector computed tomography, and intracardiac echocardiography, with arrhythmia foci being mapped at either the anterolateral PM or posteromedial...
متن کاملRole of Catheter Ablation in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia1
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by frequent ventricular tachycardia originating from the right ventricle and fibro-fatty replacement of right ventricular myocardium. Though the disorder was originally described during surgical ablation of refractory ventricular tachycardia, catheter ablation of tachycardia is one of the options for patients ...
