Figure Lengend Snippet: Preprocedural imaging using LGE-CMR to identify epicardial/midmyocardial substrate (A + B). Correspondingly, epicardial (C + D) map. Example of a patient undergoing preprocedural LGE-MRI imaging with evidence of epicardial substrate (A + B) with corresponding VT substrate on the epicardial mapping (C + D) reconstructed with CARTO-3 system (C: PA view showing patchy substrate epicardially, D: left lateral inferior view showing proposed VT channel based on preprocedural CT imaging and respective ablation lesions). The preprocedural MRI showed epicardial and partly intramural substrate inferior and inferolateral as well as inferoseptal
Article Snippet: All epicardial procedures were performed using a three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping system (CARTO 2 or 3, BiosenseWebster, Diamond Bar, CA, USA; Ensite Precision, Abbott, St. Paul, MN, USA; Rhythmia, Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA) and performing electrical and structural substrate characterization using high-density multipolar mapping catheter (Pentaray, BiosenseWebster, Diamond Bar, CA, USA; Advisor HD Grid, Abbott, St. Paul, MN, USA; Intellamap Orion, Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA).
