Key result
Robotic-assisted mapping and ablation successfully treats RV tachycardia after complex congenital Rastelli repair.
Why the study?
Robotically assisted catheter ablation has been shown feasible for atrial arrhythmias and may offer advantages for complex ventricular tachycardia ablation in congenital heart disease patients.
Case Report (n=1)
Robotically assisted catheter ablation can be utilized for right ventricular tachycardia in patients with complex congenital heart disease and prior Rastelli repair.

Supports feasibility in complex post-Rastelli anatomy; leaves open comparative efficacy versus manual ablation.
Robotically assisted catheter ablation has been proven feasible in patients with a variety of atrial arrhythmias. The potential to provide improved catheter tip maneuvering and stability potentially makes it ideal for complex ablation procedures. We present the case of a patient with complex congenital heart disease with previous Rastelli repair and recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) who underwent robotically assisted mapping and ablation for right ventricular VT, utilizing substrate mapping techniques.
