Key result
Three-dimensional delayed-enhanced cardiac MRI reconstructions were used to guide ventricular tachycardia ablation in a patient with a challenging voltage map.
Case Report (n=1)
Three-dimensional delayed-enhanced cardiac MRI can facilitate ventricular tachycardia ablations by providing complementary detail about myocardial scar location and geometry in challenging cases.
May aid VT ablation in complex scar; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
V oltage mapping is the primary tool for identifying sites for substrate-guided ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation, but there are limitations in its application.Delayed-enhanced cardiac MRI (DE-CMRI) can facilitate VT ablations by providing complementary detail about myocardial scar location and geometry.We present the case of a patient with recurrent VT with left bundle branch block (LBBB)-right-side inferior axis morphology and a challenging voltage map.
