Catheter ablation of hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia in ischemic cardiomyopathy using high-resolution mapping

Clin Case Rep. 2017 Feb 17;5(4):389-393. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.833. eCollection 2017 Apr.

Abstract

Catheter ablation is a recommended therapy option for ventricular tachycardia (VT). The antegrade transseptal approach for targeting VT with left ventricular origin is feasible with the high-resolution basket catheter. High-resolution mapping offers the potential to quickly acquire detailed voltage and activation maps. This may help to identify the crucial VT-substrate even in patients with huge scar areas and hemodynamically unstable VT.
