ABSTRACT:
A process for the mapping and/or ablation of locations within the right ventricle associated with the right ventricular outflow tract for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia by use of ablation and/or mapping catheters guided by guiding introducers. Also disclosed are shapes for the guiding introducer to be used for the ablation and/or mapping of areas within the right ventricle associated with the right ventricular outflow tract for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia.
