title: Successful epicardial catheter ablation of micro-reentrant ventricular tachycardia in a 14-year-old child.
abstract: The article describes successful epicardial catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia using the transpericardial approach in a 14-year-old adolescent. Conventional mapping of endocardial surface revealed criteria consistent with subpericardial localization of arrythmogenic substrate. Epicardial mapping using a transpericardial approach enabled localization and successful elimination of the ventricular tachycardia on the lateral wall of the right ventricle.
