Ablation of Focal Intramural Outflow Tract Ventricular Arrhythmias.

Abstract

Most idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) originate from the outflow tract (OT) region and can be targeted with ablation either from the endocardial aspect of the right and left ventricular outflow tracts or from the aortic sinuses of Valsalva. It is important to exclude scar in patients with OT VAs. In some patients, the site of origin may be intramural. Ablation of intramural OT VAs can be challenging to map and ablate due to deep intramural sites of origin. The coronary venous branches may permit mapping and ablation of intramural OT VAs.
