Intracoronary antiarrhythmic injection may aid VT artery identification; case-report data leaves open prospective validation before any practice change.
Does selective intracoronary antiarrhythmic drug injection improve the identification of the ventricular tachycardia-related coronary artery compared to intracoronary iced saline in patients with recurrent sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia?
Selective intracoronary antiarrhythmic drug injection is more effective than intracoronary iced saline for identifying the ventricular tachycardia-related coronary artery prior to chemical ablation.
