Key result
An integrated 3-phase mapping technique for RF catheter ablation achieved a high long-term ablation success rate of 89% (17 of 19 patients) in patients with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia.

Does an integrated 3-phase mapping technique provide efficient and accurate localization for radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia?
An integrated 3-phase mapping technique provides efficient and accurate localization for RF catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia, achieving high long-term success with few RF pulses.
Peeters et al. (1999) conducted a cohort in Idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (n=19). Integrated 3-phase mapping technique for RF catheter ablation was evaluated on Long-term ablation success. An integrated 3-phase mapping technique for RF catheter ablation achieved a high long-term ablation success rate of 89% (17 of 19 patients) in patients with idiopathic ventricular tachycardia.
