Supports PET/CT-3D mapping integration for scar visualization in VT ablation; leaves open whether this improves procedural outcomes.
Does integration of PET/CT reconstruction with 3D mapping allow accurate simultaneous 3D display of myocardial scar and border zone embedded into the LV anatomy in patients undergoing VT ablation?
Integration of PET/CT reconstruction with 3D mapping systems allows accurate simultaneous 3D display of myocardial scar and border zone, potentially enabling a new image-guided approach to substrate-guided VT ablation.
