Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one of the most important treatment options for ventricular tachycardia. The therapy is constantly advancing with modern technology implementation.1 RFA invasive treatment is commonly performed via catheter with the support of 3-dimensional electroanatomic mapping systems,2 with either manual navigation (MAN) or robotic remote magnetic-navigated (RMN) catheters3 (Figure [A]).
