Modern Mapping and Ablation Techniques to Treat Ventricular Arrhythmias From the Left Ventricular Summit and Interventricular Septum

Managing arrhythmias from the left ventricular summit and interventricular septum is a major challenge for the clinical electrophysiologist requiring intimate knowledge of cardiac anatomy, advanced training and expertise. Novel mapping and ablation strategies are needed to treat arrhythmias originating from these regions given the suboptimal long-term success rates. Herein, we describe innovative approaches to improve acute and long-term clinical outcomes such as mapping and ablation using the septal coronary venous system, the septal coronary arteries, alcohol ablation, ablation of all early sites, among others.
