  • Title: [Ablation of incessant ventricular tachycardia with the use of epicardial approach in a patient after CABG - a case report].
    Author: Buchta P, Arya A, Hindricks G, Piorkowski C, Poloński L, Gąsior M, Zembala M.
    Journal: Kardiol Pol; 2011; 69(2):191-4. PubMed ID: 21332072.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous epicardial catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) is used when ablation by a conventional endocardial access has been unsuccessful. In patients after cardiac surgery operations, due to high risk, an open chest approach for ablation is usually used. We report a case of 66 year-old man after bypass surgery operation admitted to the hospital with incessant VT, which was successfully ablated from the epicardial aspect achieved by subxyphoidal approach.
