Key result
Retrograde PFA safely achieves scar homogenization and VT non-inducibility in a single patient.
Why the study?
Does pulsed-field ablation via a retrograde approach effectively treat ventricular tachycardia in a patient who failed conventional ablation?
Case Report (n=1)
Does pulsed-field ablation via a retrograde approach effectively treat ventricular tachycardia in a patient who failed conventional ablation?
This case report provides the first evidence that pulsed-field ablation for ventricular tachycardia via a retrograde approach is feasible and effective.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Retrograde pulsed-field ablation for VT appears feasible in one case; leaves open efficacy, safety, and generalizability questions.
Martin et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Ventricular tachycardia (n=1). Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) via a retrograde approach was evaluated on Feasibility, effectiveness, and complications. Pulsed-field ablation for ventricular tachycardia via a retrograde approach resulted in scar homogenization, non-inducibility of VT, and no complications in a single patient.
