The Lead Episode 71: A Discussion of Fascicular Substrate Modification to Treat Human Ventricular Fibrillation

Discussion Topic: Fascicular Substrate Modification to Treat Human Ventricular Fibrillation

William H. Sauer, MD, FHRS, CCDS, Brigham and Women’s Hospital is joined by Andrés Felipe Miranda-Arboleda, MD, Brigham and Women’s Hospital Babak Nazer, MD, University of Washington to discuss how Purkinje fibers play an important role in the initiation and maintenance of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT). Fascicular substrate modification (FSM) approaches have been suggested to treat recurrent VF in case reports and small case series.
