Figure 1:
Pathologic section of the LV summit region. This region at the superior aspect of the left ventricular myocardium is bounded by the bifurcation of the LAD and left circumflex coronary arteries. One can appreciate from this specimen that the LCC and the GCV provide access to the superior aspect of the epicardial summit for catheter ablation. LAD: left anterior descending coronary artery; LM: left main coronary ostium. Illustration is from the Wallace A. McAlpine, MD collection, courtesy of the UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center.

Figure 2:
Right anterior oblique (RAO, left panel) and left anterior oblique (LAO, right panel) fluoroscopic views in a patient undergoing ventricular tachycardia ablation. A 20-electrode microcatheter is advanced via the CS to the GCV/AIV region. An ablation catheter is shown with its tip in the left coronary cusp, demonstrating the proximity of the left coronary cusp to the distal GCV. ICE: intracardiac echocardiography catheter; RV: right ventricular catheter.
