Abstract
Ventricular tachycardia refractory to traditional therapies such as medical management and endocardial catheter ablation poses risk for sudden cardiac death and poor quality of life. We describe a patient who was successfully treated for refractory symptomatic ventricular tachycardia using hybrid endocardial and minimally invasive epicardial ablation via subxiphoid approach.
