The 2019 HRS/EHRA/APHRS/LAHRS Expert Consensus Statement on Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias-Practical Aspects of Catheter Ablation of VA (Presenter: Francis E. Marchlinski, MD, FHRS)

Practical Aspects of Catheter Ablation of VA (Presenter: Francis E. Marchlinski, MD, FHRS)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video transcript, Dr. Marcininski discusses the practical aspects of catheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias. He highlights the importance of considering access considerations, such as the approach to accessing the left ventricular endocardium. He also discusses the use of percutaneous epicardial access, particularly in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Dr. Marcininski emphasizes the use of unipolar electrograms to guide decision making and talks about anatomical considerations, such as proximity to coronary vessels and prior surgery. He also discusses endpoints for ablation procedures, including non-inducibility of ventricular tachycardia and the elimination of late potentials and lavas. Finally, he mentions overcoming challenges in ablation, such as using imaging and cryoablation. Overall, he recommends reading the detailed documentation for a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
