Does transcoronary chemical ablation with ethanol cure or suppress incessant ventricular tachycardia in patients failing other therapies?

Population

n=3 patients with incessant ventricular tachycardia after myocardial infarction in whom other therapeutic options had failed.

Intervention

Transcoronary chemical ablation with sterile ethanol (96%) at a dose of 1.5 ml to 6 ml after transcoronary mapping with saline.

Outcome

Cure or suppression of ventricular tachycardiahard clinical

Transcoronary chemical ablation with ethanol can successfully suppress incessant ventricular tachycardia in selected post-myocardial infarction patients failing other therapies.
