Case
• 66 y/o man with history of inferior MI 8 yrs ago• EF normal. No heart failure• Presents to ED with sustained MVT at 130 bpm• Cardioverted in ED and admitted• Cath shows chronically occluded mid RCA• Now what?

Case
• 66 y/o man with history of inferior MI 8 yrs ago• EF normal. No heart failure• Presents to ED with sustained MVT at 130 bpm• Cardioverted in ED and admitted• Cath shows chronically occluded mid RCA• Now what?• Catheter ablation procedure
Techniques Used to Identify Successful Target Sites for Ablation of VT in Patients with Prior MI
• VT morphology on 12-lead ECG• Infarct or aneurysm location• Endocardial activation time• Pace-mapping during SR• Concealed entrainment• Isolated middiastolic potential• Ratio of stimulus-QRS to VTCL• Stimulus-QRS and EGM-QRS
difference • Post-pacing interval

Case
• 66 y/o man with history of inferior MI 8 yrs ago• EF normal. No heart failure• Presents to ED with sustained MVT at 130 bpm• Cardioverted in ED and admitted• Cath shows chronically occluded mid RCA• Now what?• Catheter ablation procedure
• What if VT hemodynamically unstable?

Approaches for Ablation of Hemodynamically Unstable
(or Unsustained) VT
• Substrate mapping using advanced mapping system
• Pace-mapping
• Noncontact mapping
• Vasopressors
• Percutaneous LVAD
• Slow VT (with Procainamide)
Case
• 66 y/o man with history of inferior MI 8 yrs ago• EF normal. No heart failure• Presents to ED with sustained MVT at 130 bpm• Cardioverted in ED and admitted• Cath shows chronically occluded mid RCA• Now what?• Catheter ablation procedure
• What if VT is epicardial?

Case
• 66 y/o man with history of inferior MI 8 yrs ago• EF normal. No heart failure• Presents to ED with sustained MVT at 130 bpm• Cardioverted in ED and admitted• Cath shows chronically occluded mid RCA• Now what?• Catheter ablation procedure
• What if there is an LV thrombus?

22 y/o Woman with Ventricular Bigeminy
Case
• 22 y/o woman referred for “bradycardia”• Found to have bigeminy• PVC burden on Holter 28%• Morphology RBIA, negative in I
• Echo/MRI EF 50%, mild LV dil. No scar• Failed trial of beta blockers

VT ablation: Who and When
• VT in patients with structural heart disease• CAD vs. Nonischemic CM patients• Initial presentation vs. multiple ICD therapies• Hemodynamically stable vs. not stable• Endocardial vs. epicardial approaches
• Idiopathic VT • RVOT VT• Left posterior fascicular VT
• Symptomatic or Frequent PVCs causing DCM
