Feasibility of fast ventricular tachycardia mapping using the Rhythmia ™ system in a patient with an Impella ™

Abstract

Use of 3D navigation systems may be sometimes impossible in patients with left ventricular assist devices because of major electromagnetical interferences with some 3D systems based on magnetic localization. Mapping with the Rhythmia ™ system in patients implanted with an Impella ™ is described to be non feasible. We relate how to overcome this technical issues in this case.
