MRI-guided ablation of wide complex tachycardia in a univentricular heart

World J Cardiol. 2012 Aug 26;4(8):260-3. doi: 10.4330/wjc.v4.i8.260.

Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging can be used for preprocedural assessment of complex anatomy for radiofrequency (RF) ablations, e.g., in a univentricular heart. This case report features the treatment of a young patient with a functionally univentricular heart who suffered from persistent sudden onset tachycardia with wide complexes that required RF ablation as treatment.
