Key result
Sequential use of electroanatomical mapping and a magnetically enabled ablation catheter was described in a single case of left ventricular fascicular tachycardia.
Case Report (n=1)
The sequential use of electroanatomical mapping and remote magnetic navigation may aid in the ablation of left ventricular fascicular tachycardia by improving maneuvering and decreasing mechanically induced arrhythmias.
Single-case report suggests combined mapping and magnetic navigation may aid fascicular VT ablation; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Ablation of idiopathic left ventricular, or fascicular tachycardia can be aided by electroanatomical mapping. The addition of a floppy, magnetically enabled ablation catheter may improve maneuvering as well as decrease mechanically induced arrhythmias and mechanical block. We describe a case of fascicular tachycardia in which both these modalities were used in a sequential fashion. Integration of these modalities should prove even more helpful.

Thornton et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Left ventricular fascicular tachycardia (n=1). Advanced mapping and remote magnetic navigation was evaluated. Sequential use of electroanatomical mapping and a magnetically enabled ablation catheter was described in a single case of left ventricular fascicular tachycardia.
