Key result
Catheter ablation targeting false tendons yields 100% success without LPF-VT recurrence.
Why the study?
The anatomical substrate for left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia (LPF-VT) remains unclear, prompting this study to describe the endocavitary substrate of the re-entrant loop.
Does radiofrequency ablation targeting false tendons prevent recurrence in patients with left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia?
Observational (n=26)

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Targeting the 'culprit' false tendon is a novel and highly effective anatomical ablation strategy for left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia.
Liu et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia (LPF-VT) (n=26). Catheter ablation targeting culprit false tendons was evaluated on Ablation success and LPF-VT recurrence. Catheter ablation targeting culprit false tendons was successful in 100% of patients with left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia, with no recurrences over 19 months of follow-up.
