Why the study?
Does real-time integration of intracardiac echocardiography and electroanatomic mapping guide successful catheter ablation of PVCs arising from the LV anterior papillary muscle?
Does real-time integration of intracardiac echocardiography and electroanatomic mapping guide successful catheter ablation of PVCs arising from the LV anterior papillary muscle?
Real-time integration of intracardiac echocardiography and electroanatomic mapping is feasible and useful for guiding catheter ablation of PVCs from uncommon sites like the papillary muscles.
