Key result
Coronary venous carbon dioxide insufflation facilitates safe percutaneous epicardial access during VT ablation.
Why the study?
Percutaneous subxiphoid epicardial access for ventricular tachycardia ablation carries a substantial risk of catastrophic complications.
Comparison
Coronary venous carbon dioxide insufflation vs standard epicardial access
Design
Multicenter study
