Key result
Epicardial access facilitated by carbon dioxide insufflation was utilized for redo ventricular tachycardia ablation in a patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and dense adhesions.
Why the study?
ARVD fibrofatty infiltration extensively involves the RV epicardium, and endocardial-only ablation may confer limited arrhythmia control.

Endocardial VT ablation may be limited in ARVD; leaves open the role of epicardial strategies for prospective trials.
Case Report (n=1)
Carbon dioxide insufflation can facilitate epicardial access for redo ventricular tachycardia ablation in patients with ARVD and dense adhesions.
Leyton‐Mange et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia with ventricular tachycardia (n=1). Epicardial access facilitated by carbon dioxide insufflation was evaluated. Epicardial access facilitated by carbon dioxide insufflation was utilized for redo ventricular tachycardia ablation in a patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and dense adhesions.
