Epicardial Ablation For Ventricular Tachycardia
Epicardial ablation has lately become a necessary tool to approach some ventricular tachycardias in different types of cardiomyopathy. Its diffusion is now limited to a few high volume centers not because of the difficulty of the pericardial puncture but since it requires high competence not only in the VT ablation field but also in knowing and recognizing the possible complications each of whi...
متن کاملEndocardial and Epicardial Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation
Myocarditis is simply defined as an inflammatory condition mainly located in the heart muscle, although considerable uncertainties still persist as to its etiologic, pathological, and clinical subclassifications. In addition to the possibility of an aspecific flulike prodrome, possible presentations include different degrees of heart failure (ranging from cardiogenic shock to subtly progressive...
متن کاملAtrial Fibrillation Ablation by the Epicardial Approach.
Catheter ablation is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, over long-term follow-up, it is becoming clear that AF often recurs and repeat ablation is required. With the goal of improving efficacy, particularly in those patients with risk factors for poor outcomes using a standard endocardial ablation technique, surgical epicardial ablation has emerged as an alternative m...
متن کاملPercutaneous epicardial ablation in ventricular arrhythmias.
INTRODUCTION Reentrant circuits of ventricular tachycardia may involve not only the endocardium but also the epicardium. Epicardial ablation can be useful in these situations. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess efficacy, safety and complications in a series of consecutive patients who underwent ablation of ventricular tachycardia with epicardial mapping. METHODS The study include...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Ventricular Epicardial Tissue
Background—Transthoracic epicardial catheter ablation is an emerging catheter ablation strategy being used clinically at increasing frequency. However, the efficacy of standard RF ablation on the epicardial surface of the heart is hindered by (1) the lack of convective cooling of the ablation electrode and (2) the varying presence of epicardial adipose tissue interposed between the ablation ele...
