Abstract

Robotically assisted catheter ablation has been proven feasible in patients with a variety of atrial arrhythmias. The potential to provide improved catheter tip maneuvering and stability potentially makes it ideal for complex ablation procedures. We present the case of a patient with complex congenital heart disease with previous Rastelli repair and recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) who underwent robotically assisted mapping and ablation for right ventricular VT, utilizing substrate mapping techniques.
