ETHANOL ALCOHOL ABLATION OF THE MARSHALL VEIN AS THE FIRST STEP FOR LEFT
ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA ABLATION
Abstract
Electroanatomic mapping guides complex atrial tachycardia ablations,
however challenges may emerge post-pulmonary vein isolatıon. In a unique
case, vein of Marshall (VOM) ethanol ablation, a conventional secondary
intervention, promptly terminated an epicardial atrial tachycardia
without further endocardial radiofrequency application, suggesting VOM’s
potential as a primary strategy.
