EP on EP Episode 43 - Idiopathic Ventricular Ablation: Part 2-EP on EP Episode 43

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this episode of EP on EP, Dr. Wilber discusses the challenges of getting rid of idiopathic VT. He mentions that long-term follow-up is necessary, as initial success may not guarantee long-term success. He also talks about the difficulty of ablation in the papillary muscle area and suggests that cryo ablation could potentially improve contact. The use of high-density mapping is crucial in identifying intramural VTs, and he explains the complexity of fiber orientation in these cases. Dr. Wilber also discusses the struggle of ablating in the LV summit, emphasizing the importance of mapping before ablating and the potential need for an epicardial approach in some cases.
