FIGURE 1. The Relationship Of The Ventricular Outflow Tracts to the Coronary Vasculature
(left panel: left anterior oblique view and right panel: right anterior oblique view): Coronary arteriography, outflow, and coronary venous mapping from a patient with VT that was shown to originate from the region of the left main coronary artery. The left main coronary artery was mapped utilizing an ablation catheter via the aorta (Aortic Abl). These panels also show simultaneous mapping from the venous and the arterial systems. Note the close relationship between the anterior interventricular vein (location shown by the AIV map catheter) and the left anterior descending coronary artery adjacent to it (arrows). RVOT Abl= right ventricular outflow tract ablation catheter, Aortic Abl= aortic ablation catheter, AIV Map= anterior inter-ventricular vein mapping catheter
