Why the study?
Does intracardiac echocardiography imaging integration with 3D mapping permit identification and avoidance of the left coronary artery ostium during radiofrequency ablation of premature ventricular complexes?
Does intracardiac echocardiography imaging integration with 3D mapping permit identification and avoidance of the left coronary artery ostium during radiofrequency ablation of premature ventricular complexes?
Intracardiac echocardiography integrated with 3D mapping can successfully identify and avoid the left coronary artery ostium during radiofrequency ablation of premature ventricular complexes in the left coronary cusp.

May support ICE-3D integration for ostial avoidance in left cusp PVC ablation; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
IMAGE: Intracardiac echocardiography imaging integration with 3D mapping during premature ventricular complexes ablation. CASE SUMMARY: A 73-year-old male patient with idiopathic premature ventricular complexes originating from the left ventricular outflow tract in the left coronary cusp area underwent radiofrequency ablation with tridimensional electroanatomic mapping and intracardiac echocardiography imaging integration, which permitted identification and avoidance of the left coronary artery ostium.
