Hands-On Electrophysiology: Vein of Marshall Ethanol Infusion

In this episode of "Hands-On EP", Jonathan P. Piccini, Sr., MD, MHS, FHRS, is joined by Miguel Valderrabano, MD. The Vein of Marshall Ethanol for Untreated Persistent Atrial Fibrillation (VENUS) trial demonstrated the addition of vein of Marshall (VOM) ethanol infusion to catheter ablation improves maintenance of sinus rhythm compared with catheter ablation alone in individuals with persistent atrial fibrillation. Dr. Valderrabano reviews the evidence behind VOM ethanol infusion, the anatomy of the VOM, the equipment needed to perform VOM ethanol infusion, and the technique and work flow for this emerging procedure.
