Key result
Merging CTCA and 3D EAM via CARTO-Segmentation locates anomalous coronary arteries during outflow tract ablation.
Case Report
Merging CT coronary angiography with 3D electroanatomical mapping can safely guide right ventricular outflow tract ablation in patients with anomalous coronary arteries without requiring invasive angiography.
May guide safe RVOT ablation near anomalous coronaries without invasive angiography; hypothesis-generating case report requiring prospective validation.
Key Teaching Points•Anomalous coronary arteries are rare and, owing to their unfamiliar course, can significantly increase risk of coronary injury when ablating around the ventricular outflow tracts.•Computerized tomography coronary angiography can be merged with 3D electroanatomical mapping via the CARTO-Segmentation module (Biosense Webster), and this provides important insight into the proximity of coronary arteries to the ablation target. This can be further augmented with intracardiac echocardiography.•This case report shows how CARTO-Segmentation was effective in locating the path of an anomalous coronary artery with excellent spatial resolution during outflow tract ablation, and without the need for invasive coronary angiography. •Anomalous coronary arteries are rare and, owing to their unfamiliar course, can significantly increase risk of coronary injury when ablating around the ventricular outflow tracts.•Computerized tomography coronary angiography can be merged with 3D electroanatomical mapping via the CARTO-Segmentation module (Biosense Webster), and this provides important insight into the proximity of coronary arteries to the ablation target.

Calvert et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Right ventricular outflow tract ablation with anomalous right coronary artery. CARTO-Segmentation module merging CT coronary angiography with 3D electroanatomical mapping was evaluated on Locating the path of an anomalous coronary artery. Merging computerized tomography coronary angiography with 3D electroanatomical mapping via CARTO-Segmentation effectively located an anomalous coronary artery during outflow tract ablation.
