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

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...

Sumario: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.
