Abstract

Abstract

We describe the case of a young man suffering from incessant ventricular tachycardia and a chronic apical left ventricular thrombus. We performed radiofrequency ablation of this tachycardia emerging from the border zone of the septoapical anevrism, near the apical thrombus. We used Cartosound™ system to avoid manipulation of catheter in the thrombus. We demonstrate, in this case, that the technique is feasible and safe.
