Retrograde aortic access for ventricular arrhythmia ablation: A novel plug and suture strategy for vascular closure
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The retrograde aortic (RA) approach is frequently utilized for catheter ablation targeting ventricular arrhythmia (VA). Various sheath types may be used for RA access, including deflectable and nondeflectable sheaths with larger diameters. Deflectable sheaths offer an additional pivot point, potentially enhancing stability and contact in regions with challenging catheter positioning, especially with irregular anatomy.
