Core Tip We report the case of a 63-year-old woman affected by a severe form of systemic scleroderma with cardiac involvement. Because of recurrent electrical storms the patient underwent catheter ablation. Intracardiac echocardiography pointed out a significant right ventricular dilatation with a complex aneurysmal lesion characterized by thin walls and irregular multiple trabeculae. A substrate-guided strategy of catheter ablation was accomplished leading to a complete electrical isolation of the aneurism. The use of advanced strategies of imaging together with electroanatomical mapping added important information to the complex arrhythmogenic substrate and improved efficacy and safety.
