  • Epikardni pristop in zdravljenje prekatne tahikardije s pomočjo katetrske radiofrekvenčne ablacije = Percutaneous pericardial approach for radiofrequency catheter ablation OF epicardial ventricular tachycardia
    Pernat, Andrej ; Šinkovec, Matjaž, 1955- ; Rakovec, Peter
    Background Radiofrequency catheter ablation represents effective endocardial treatment modality of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, idiopathic ventricular tachycardias, as well as some forms of ... ventricular tachycardia associated with structural heart disease. However, radiofrequency ablation through endocardial approach sometimes fails due to epicardially located substrate or is not feasible due to prosthetic valves or ventricular thrombus.In such cases, percutaneous subxyphoid puncture offers relativelly non-invasive access to pericardial space and epicardial surface of the heart. Conclusions Although technically demanding, procedure is relatively non-invasive and safe. In 2007, this methodology was also introduced in our institution.
