Radiofrequency catheter ablation of left ventricular outflow tract tachycardia with the assistance of the CartoSound system.
Catheter ablation of left ventricular outflow tract tachycardia (LVOTT) holds the risk of complications, if foci are located close to the coronary artery orifices. The use of an accurate three-dimensional electro-anatomic approach is necessary to avoid ablation in the coronaries. We report a case in which we demonstrate the value of the CartoSound system, in the ablation of LVOTT.
