Snaring of the right ventricular lead during cavotricuspid isthmus ablation

Clin Case Rep. 2017 Feb 5;5(3):312-314. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.813. eCollection 2017 Mar.

Abstract

The presence of a right ventricular (RV) lead may interfere with cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation. We present a new option of lifting the RV lead from the CTI allowing a successful ablation of a CTI-dependent flutter without compromising lead integrity and functionality.
