Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) is a novel imaging method introduced to guide complex catheter ablations of the left atrium. Our aim was to investigate the feasibility of the method in visualization of left ventricular anatomy and to develop a corresponding protocol for guidance of ventricular tachycardia ablation. We performed 3D rotational angiography in 13 patients using a direct left atrial protocol for data acquisition and the 3D reconstruction of the left ventricle was achieved in all patients. Clinical data comparison has proved lower use of radiation and contrast medium during 3DRA-guided ablations as compared to CT-guided procedures.
