AI Article Synopsis
- Septal ventricular tachycardias often recur after standard radiofrequency ablation due to deep intramyocardial circuits that are hard to treat effectively with unipolar techniques.
- Bipolar radiofrequency ablation is a promising alternative that can create deeper lesions, resulting in higher success rates and lower recurrence during follow-up.
- This report details a successful case of using a simple bipolar ablation setup with two 8-mm tip catheters for treating septal ventricular tachycardia.
Article Abstract
Septal ventricular tachycardias exhibit high recurrence rates after radiofrequency ablation, which is mainly attributed to the deep intramyocardial circuits and the inability to create transmural lesions with the conventional unipolar ablation. Bipolar radiofrequency ablation is feasible and it has been reported as a valid technique in these cases, leading to deeper lesion formation, high non-inducibility rates, and acceptable recurrence rates during follow-up. Our goal is to report a successful case of bipolar ablation of a septal ventricular tachycardia using a simple bipolar ablation configuration with two 8-mm tip catheters.
