| Core Tip |
Epicardial ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation procedures are constantly increasing in number. Among the complications potentially carried by this approach, Phrenic nerve (PN) injury can be prevented using certain precautions. However, when ablation is at risk of being unsuccessful due to PN proximity, there are some helpful tips and tricks available. We present herein, a case series of epicardial ablation of VT, in which PN displacement was necessary to successfully eliminate the arrhythmia. This case series highlights the importance of an accurate definition of the PN course, and reports upon the feasibility of PN displacement through use of a vascular balloon placed into the epicardial space. |
