Stereotactic body radiation therapy for refractory premature ventricular contractions that originate from the left ventricular summit: A case report

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2023 Feb;46(2):190-194. doi: 10.1111/pace.14590. Epub 2022 Sep 20.

Abstract

The case highlights an available method to minimize the target volume and reduce the radiation dose by using a temporary catheter, to reduce the long-term risk of radiotherapy for ventricular arrhythmias.

Keywords: left ventricular summit; noninvasive radiofrequency ablation; premature ventricular contractions; refractory arrhythmia; stereotactic radiotherapy.
