3 Catheter ablation of Purkinje-triggered VT The successful mapping and ablation of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation was introduced by Haissaguerre and colleagues (LQT / Brugada patients). Their observations and scientific work opened up a new window for interventional electrophysiology, i.e. Catheter ablation of VF. The patient population studied so far is small, however, over the years several groups have contributed their experience and to extend the potential option for catheter ablation to other patient subsets.

4 Catheter ablation of Purkinje-triggered VT Catheter ablation has of Purkinje triggered VT / VF has been successfully reported: - idiopathic VT / VF - Brugada Syndrome - LQTs - post MI - after AVR - myocarditis - dilated cardiomyopathy

5 Catheter ablation of Purkinje-triggered VT Catheter ablation has of Purkinje triggered VT / VF has been successfully reported: - idiopathic VT / VF - Brugada Syndrome - LQTs - post MI - after AVR - myocarditis - dilated cardiomyopathy

30 Catheter ablation of VT / VF: Leipzig data 14 patients with focal triggered VT/VF 8/14 post MI 2/14 post AVR 3/14 slightly impaired LV-function one myocarditis Ablation targets were septal LV in 12/14, LV and RV in 3/14, septal and free wall in 2/14. Acute termination was achieved in all pts., recurrence of any VT/VF after 26±14 months was 3/14.

31 Knecht et al.; JACC 2009

32 Catheter ablation of idiopathic VF 30/38 pts. (81%) had spontaneous VPB 8/38 pts. (19%) had no spont. Acivity VF triggered from the right PS 16 pts., the left PS in 14 pts., and both in 3 pts. a mean of 1.7±2.0 VBS were targeted Knecht et al.; JACC 2009

33 Catheter ablation of idiopathic VF during FU (6 yrs) 7/38 pts. developed recurrence of VF within a median of 24 months (1-60 mo). 5/7 pts. underwent re-ablation, 4/5 pts. had new VPB morphology, only one had a recurrence of clinical VPB all pts. underwent successful re-ablation without recurrence in the next 28 months. Knecht et al.; JACC 2009

34 Summary Focal triggered VT/VF can be observed in the absence of organic heart disease as well as in patients with a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Localization of such triggers is possible, the Purkinje system seems to play a predominant role. However, PVB activity is a necessary for mapping and successful ablation. Recurrence of VF/VF is infrequent, however, as a rule, ICD implantation is recommended to prevent SCD as a result of arrhythmia recurrence.
