e0557 CARTO MAPPING TO GUIDE ABLATION OF RIGHT VENTRICULAR OUTFLOW TRACT TACHYCARDIA VENTRICUALR CONTRACTION
نویسنده
چکیده
Objective The aim of this study was to determine whether CARTO mapping is feasible in the right ventricle and assess its utility in guiding ablation of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) ventricualr tachycardia (VT). Background In patients with RVOT VT; CARTO mapping permits ablation guided by a VT complex, which may facilitate ablation of VT cases. However, the mapping system may be geometrydependent, and it has not been validated in the unique geometry of the RVOT. Methods 30 patients with left bundle branch block and right axis VT, no history of structurally cardiac disease and normal left ventricular function underwent CARTO guided ablation. Results The procedure was acutely successful in 27 of 30 patients, 3 had failed ablation. During a mean follow-up of 6 months, 26 of 30 patients remained arrhythmia-free. Conclusions In this study, CARTO mapping was safely and effectively used to guide ablation of patients with RVOT VT.

Noncontact mapping to guide ablation of right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia.
OBJECTIVES [corrected] The aim of this study was to determine whether noncontact mapping is feasible in the right ventricle and assess its utility in guiding ablation of difficult-to-treat right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) ventricular tachycardia (VT). BACKGROUND In patients without inducible arrhythmia, RVOT VT may be difficult to ablate. Noncontact mapping permits ablation guided by a ...
متن کاملSustained polymorphic ventricular tachycardia induced during radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic right ventricular outflow tract extrasystoles
A 60-year-old male with a long-lasting history of palpitations was referred to our hospital for further evaluation. His family history was negative for sudden cardiac death at a young age. Transthoracic echocardiography and exercise treadmill test ruled out structural heart disease. Baseline ECG showed sinus rhythm and frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) displaying rS pattern in ...
متن کاملTrigger elimination of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation by catheter ablation: trigger and substrate modification
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is a malignant arrhythmia, usually initiated by a ventricular premature contraction (VPC) during the vulnerable period of cardiac repolarization. Ablation therapy for VF has been described and increasingly reported. Targets for VF triggers are VPCs preceded by Purkinje potentials or from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in structurally normal hearts, and ...
متن کاملShort- and Long-Term Success of Substrate-Based Mapping and Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia
Background—Multiple morphologies, hemodynamic instability, or noninducibility may limit ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD). Substrate-based mapping and ablation may overcome these limitations. We report the results and success of substrate-based VT ablation in ARVD. Methods and Results—Twenty-two patients with ARVD were studi...
متن کاملCatheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias guided by electroanatomic imaging (CARTO): a single-center experience.
BACKGROUND Catheter ablation is assuming a larger role in the management of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Conventional fluoroscopic catheter mapping has limited spatial resolution and involves prolonged fluoroscopy. The non-fluoroscopic electroanatomic mapping technique (CARTO) has been developed to overcome these drawbacks. OBJECTIVES To report the early and late outcome in patients wit...
