In their paper, the authors address concepts of catheter-based intervention of ventricular tachycardia in patients after a myocardial infarction, discussing also the new technique of epicardial mapping and ablation. Puncture of a non-separated pericardium and introduction of the mapping catheter using the percutaneous technique is a safe method potentially broadening the therapeutic efficacy of catheter-based ablation, to be used not only to terminate ventricular tachycardia.
