Role of high-resolution image integration to visualize left phrenic nerve and coronary arteries during epicardial ventricular tachycardia ablation.
BACKGROUND Epicardial ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation is associated with risks of coronary artery (CA) and phrenic nerve (PN) injury. We investigated the role of multidetector computed tomography in visualizing CA and PN during VT ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS Ninety-five consecutive patients (86 men; age, 57 ± 15) with VT underwent cardiac multidetector computed tomography. The PN dete...
متن کاملEpicardial ablation of ventricular tachycardia in a patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia after failed conventional endocardial ablation: A case for remote navigation with functional image integration
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is an inheritable heart muscle disease that predominantly affects the right ventricle (RV) and predisposes to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD)1. The natural history is predominantly related to ventricular electric instability which may lead to arrhythmic SCD, mostly in young people and athletes2,3, but may progress with sig...
متن کاملInverse solution mapping of epicardial potentials: quantitative comparison with epicardial contact mapping.
BACKGROUND Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is still one of the most challenging procedures in cardiac electrophysiology, limited, in part, by unmappable arrhythmias that are nonsustained or poorly tolerated. Calculation of the inverse solution from body surface potential mapping (sometimes known as ECG imaging) has shown tremendous promise and can rapidly map these arrhythmias...
متن کاملRapidly formed right ventricular thrombus detected by intracardiac echocardiography before catheter ablation in a case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
Figure 1 An image of the right ventricle created using intracardiac echocardiography merged with computed tomography. The fusion image reveals a large thrombus in the right ventricular apex. A right ventricular thrombus with ARVC is very rare compared with left ventricular thrombus in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Here, we reported a case of ARVC associated with a rapidly formed r...
متن کاملAn underrecognized subepicardial reentrant ventricular tachycardia attributable to left ventricular aneurysm in patients with normal coronary arteriograms.
BACKGROUND In patients with apparently normal hearts, ventricular tachycardia (VT) may only involve the subepicardial myocardium. METHODS AND RESULTS Four patients with exercise-induced fast VT with right bundle branch block morphology were investigated. ECG showed a small q wave in leads II, III, and aVF during sinus rhythm (SR) in all 4 patients. Left ventricular angiography showed small in...
