Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of intramural ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) may require advanced ablation techniques to achieve effective energy transfer to the targeted tissue. As an alternative to standard RF ablation, catheter ablation can also be conducted in bipolar configuration when two ablation catheters participate in the RF circuit. This strategy has proved to result in deeper lesion formation and may be effective for eliminating arrhythmias that have been refractory to standard ablation. In this article, we provide a step-by-step guide on when and how to perform bipolar ablation of VAs.
