“…As a result, it is possible to delineate complex left atrial and PV anatomy with a high degree of accuracy. 2,19,20 More recently, novel mapping systems such as the Rhythmia™ mapping system (Boston Scientific Inc., MA, USA) have been demonstrated to rapidly generate high-resolution maps in animal models. 21 MRI with late gadolinium enhancement has emerged as a valuable technique for identifying regions of atrial fibrosis and scarring.…”

Since the first catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmia more than three decades ago, ablation technology has continually evolved at a rapid pace. Much of the early progress in the field was made in ablation of supraventricular tachycardias. Following a seminal study from Haïssaguerre et al. 1 in 1998, which demonstrated that pulmonary vein triggers are important sources of atrial fibrillation (AF), the approach to management of AF underwent a revolution. Electrical isolation of pulmonary veins (PVs) using catheter ablation became an established therapeutic strategy in patients with paroxysmal AF. During subsequent years, the role of ablation in AF expanded, and more extensive strategies involving ablation of non-pulmonary vein triggers and modification of the left atrial substrate were demonstrated to be effective, even in persistent forms of AF. New Technologies and Techniques for AF AblationCurrently, the most widely used technique for PV isolation involves delivery of point-by-point ablation lesions around the circumference of the vein. A number of different variations to the approach have been developed. During the early stages of PV isolation, a 'segmental approach' which involved targeting the earliest PV potentials at the ostium of the PV was commonly used. Due to high reconnection rates and the risk of PV stenosis, the technique has progressively been modified and the prevailing technique involves circumferential antral ablation to achieve PV isolation. AbstractCatheter ablation is an established treatment strategy for a range of different cardiac arrhythmias. Over the past decade two major areas of expansion have been ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the context of structurally abnormal hearts. In parallel with the expanding role of catheter ablation for AF and VT, multiple novel technologies have been developed which aim to increase safety and procedural success. Areas of development include novel catheter designs, novel navigation technologies and higher resolution imaging techniques. The aim of the present review is to provide an overview of novel developments in AF ablation and VT ablation in patients with of structural cardiac diseases.

Background-Defining the arrhythmogenic substrate is essential for successful ablation of scar-related ventricular tachycardia. The visual characteristics of endocardial ischemic scar have not been described in vivo. The goal of this study was (1) to quantify the visual characteristics of normal tissue, scar border zone, and dense scar in vivo with the use of a novel endoscopic catheter that allows direct endocardial visualization and (2)
