Mapping-guided exclusion of left ventricular aneurysms for management of ventricular tachycardia
Aneurysm-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) can pose a therapeutic challenge, particularly in patients with refractory symptoms despite optimal medical and catheter-based interventions.Here, we present 2 cases of patients with recurrent VT secondary to a large left ventricular (LV) aneurysm who underwent surgical exclusion of the LV aneurysm for VT management.The procedure was performed using an innovative approach that integrated the Dor technique with intraoperative substrate mapping and ablation.
