Electrode catheter ablation of refractory focal ventricular tachycardia

J Am Coll Cardiol. 1983 Dec;2(6):1107-13. doi: 10.1016/s0735-1097(83)80337-4.

Abstract

Localized, high energy, direct current intracardiac shocks effectively prevented recurrent ventricular tachycardia in one patient whose arrhythmia originated in the right ventricular outflow tract, and in two patients with ventricular septal tachycardia after myocardial infarction.
