Successful Noninvasive 12-Lead ECG Mapping-Guided Radiotherapy of Inaccessible Ventricular Tachycardia Substrate Due to Mechanical Valves

In patients presenting with refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) and aortic and mitral mechanical prosthetic valves, traditional catheter ablation is challenging. We describe a case in which a novel noninvasive computational electrocardiogram mapping algorithm localized VT sources originating from substrate near the mechanical valves, in which stereotactic ablative radiotherapy eliminated VT in 1.5-year follow-up.
