Summary
Refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) can lead to sudden cardiac death. A hybrid ablation approach, combining endocardial and minimally invasive epicardial methods, successfully treated a patient with this condition.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Electrophysiology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Ventricular tachycardia (VT) refractory to standard treatments presents significant risks, including sudden cardiac death and diminished quality of life.
- Endocardial catheter ablation and medical management are primary therapies, but some cases remain intractable.
