3D Map Combined with Transthoracic Echocardiography for Ablation of Premature Ventricular Contractions/Ventricular Arrhythmia from Papillary Muscle: A Technical Report

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Ventricular arrhythmias originating from the papillary muscle of the ventricles are complex clinical problems. Catheter ablation has the potential to cure these arrhythmias. However, the procedure is usually challenging due to the specific anatomy, catheter instability and difficulty in localization of the origin of the arrhythmias. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has been reported to be the suitable imaging method for assessing the location of focus in papillary muscles. We used transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), as a noninvasive cost-effective imaging supporting modality, in combination with 3D mapping to guide the exact localization and successful ablation of papillary muscle-originating premature ventricular contractions (PVCs).
