Non-Idiopathic Papillary Muscle Ventricular Arrhythmia Ablation Using the Lattice-Tip Catheter: A Case Series

Key Teaching Points1. Papillary muscle ventricular arrhythmias are challenging ablation targets due to their constant motion and complex anatomy.2. The lattice-tip dual-energy catheter maintains broad, stable contact throughout the cardiac cycle, enabling consistent lesion formation on highly mobile structures such as the papillary muscles.3. Pulsed-field energy delivery near the papillary muscles requires close monitoring of coronary proximity and sub-valvular structures; intracardiac echocardiography is essential for real-time catheter positioning.4. The independent contributions of radiofrequency and pulsed-field ablation cannot be determined because they are often delivered sequentially; therefore, prospective studies are needed to define the optimal energy.

Abstract

Key Teaching Points1. Papillary muscle ventricular arrhythmias are challenging ablation targets due to their constant motion and complex anatomy.2. The lattice-tip dual-energy catheter maintains broad, stable contact throughout the cardiac cycle, enabling consistent lesion formation on highly mobile structures such as the papillary muscles.3. Pulsed-field energy delivery near the papillary muscles requires close monitoring of coronary proximity and sub-valvular structures; intracardiac echocardiography is essential for real-time catheter positioning.4. The independent contributions of radiofrequency and pulsed-field ablation cannot be determined because they are often delivered sequentially; therefore, prospective studies are needed to define the optimal energy.
