Fluoroscopy-guided transatrial access to the left ventricle allowed successful ventricular tachycardia ablation without residual shunting in a patient with dual mechanical valves.

Fluoroscopy-guided intentional right atrium to left ventricle access is a feasible bailout strategy for VT ablation in patients with dual mechanical valves when echocardiographic guidance is unavailable.
Özgeyik et al. (Sun,) conducted a case report in Ventricular tachycardia with dual mechanical valves (n=1). Fluoroscopy-guided transatrial access to the left ventricle for VT ablation was evaluated on Successful LV access and VT ablation. Fluoroscopy-guided transatrial access to the left ventricle allowed successful ventricular tachycardia ablation without residual shunting in a patient with dual mechanical valves.
