Does radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by Purkinje potentials terminate fascicular ventricular tachycardia in a patient with prior myocardial infarction?
Radiofrequency ablation guided by Purkinje potentials can successfully terminate fascicular ventricular tachycardias originating from the left posterior and anterior fascicles in a patient with prior myocardial infarction.
Ashino et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Ventricular tachycardia post-myocardial infarction (n=1). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Termination of ventricular tachycardia. Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by Purkinje potentials successfully terminated two distinct morphologies of fascicular ventricular tachycardia in a patient with prior myocardial infarction.
