Catheter ablation is a recommended therapy option for ventricular tachycardia (VT). The antegrade transseptal approach for targeting VT with left ventricular origin is feasible with the high-resolution basket catheter. High-resolution mapping offers the potential to quickly acquire detailed voltage and activation maps. This may help to identify the crucial VT-substrate even in patients with huge scar areas and hemodynamically unstable VT.
