Hypothesis-generating for focal ablation in early postinfarction electrical storm; prospective trials needed before practice change.
Case Report (n=1)
Focal radiofrequency catheter ablation may be an effective primary approach for treating electrical storm in the early postinfarction period when macroreentry is excluded.
Aksu et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Electrical storm in the early postinfarction period (n=1). Focal radiofrequency catheter ablation was evaluated on Monomorphic VT episodes. Focal radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully terminated ventricular tachycardia in a patient with early postinfarction electrical storm, with no recurrence during 12 months of follow-up.
