May enable VT ablation when standard access is precluded by dual mechanical valves; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Case Report (n=1)
Demonstrates the feasibility of a percutaneous transapical endocardial approach for ventricular tachycardia ablation in a patient with mechanical aortic and mitral valves to avoid catheter entrapment.
Vurgun et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Ventricular tachycardia in a patient with mechanical aortic and mitral valve prosthesis (n=1). Percutaneous transapical endocardial approach with the use of closure device was evaluated. Ventricular tachycardia ablation was performed via a percutaneous transapical endocardial approach with a closure device in a patient with aortic and mitral mechanical prostheses.
