Why the study?
Even after surgical exposure, epicardial ablation of ventricular tachycardia originating beneath a major coronary artery can be challenging.
Direct intramyocardial injection of alcohol after surgical exposure may be a viable novel method for managing refractory epicardial VT originating beneath a major coronary artery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May offer a bailout for refractory epicardial VT; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Rangaswamy et al. (2020) studied this question.
