Suggests mechanism-specific verapamil use in select tachycardias; leaves open validation in larger cohorts before practice change.
Case Report (n=1)
Direct current catheter ablation successfully treated recurrent ventricular tachycardia caused by triggered activity.
Bhandari et al. (1988) conducted a case report in Recurrent ventricular tachycardia (n=1). Direct current countershocks via electrode catheter was evaluated on Tachycardia recurrence. Four direct current countershocks of 200 J each delivered via an electrode catheter successfully abolished recurrent ventricular tachycardia, with no recurrence at 12 months.
