Subxiphoid Endoscopic Epicardial Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation

Abstract

Ventricular tachycardia refractory to traditional therapies such as medical management and endocardial catheter ablation poses risk for sudden cardiac death and poor quality of life. We describe a patient who was successfully treated for refractory symptomatic ventricular tachycardia using hybrid endocardial and minimally invasive epicardial ablation via subxiphoid approach.
