RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION OF VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA WITH TRANSPERICARDIAL ACCESS
Abstract
Transpericardial catheter ablation performed in a young adult male patient with paroxysmal idiopathic ventricular tachycardia is described; the endocardial mapping revealed an area of broad activation which did not meet the criteria of arrhythmogenic zone, whereas the epicardial mapping permitted one to localize and effectively eliminate the arryhthmogenic area in the right ventricle anterior wall.
