Key result
Radiofrequency ablation guided by ICE and 3D mapping achieves 100% VT non-inducibility without postoperative complications.
Why the study?
To evaluate the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by ICE for the treatment of VT of various etiology.
Does nonfluoroscopic radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by ICE and 3D mapping safely and effectively treat symptomatic ventricular tachycardia?
Observational (n=20)
Does nonfluoroscopic radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by ICE and 3D mapping safely and effectively treat symptomatic ventricular tachycardia?
Nonfluoroscopic catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia guided by ICE and 3D mapping is feasible, safe, and acutely effective.

May support nonfluoroscopic VT ablation in select cases; leaves open safety, durability, and generalizability pending prospective trials.
Huseynli et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Symptomatic ventricular tachycardia (n=20). Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and 3D electroanatomical mapping was evaluated on Procedural success (non-inducibility of VT). Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by intracardiac echocardiography and 3D mapping achieved procedural success (non-inducibility of VT) in 100% of cases with no postoperative complications.
