Caudocranial transseptal approach for placement of endocardial left ventricular leads.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Hemodynamic collapse precludes extensive catheter mapping to identify focal target regions in many patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) associated with heart disease. This study tested the feasibility of catheter ablation of poorly tolerated VTs by targeting a region identified during sinus rhythm. ...
