title: Ventricular Arrhythmias from the Left Ventricular Summit: Critical Importance of Anatomy, Imaging, and Detailed Mapping to Allow Safe and Effective Ablation.
abstract: Ventricular arrhythmias arising from the region of the left ventricular summit can be challenging for catheter-based percutaneous ablation. A detailed knowledge of the anatomy of this region and the need of high-density mapping of surrounding structures are critical in ensuring safe and effective ablation. This case-based review focuses on the particular challenges with ablation in this region.
