A 47-year-male patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy underwent electrophysiological study and catheter ablation for recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT).

Endocardial mapping revealed no favorable site. The epicardium was accessed according to the Sosa technique with a Tuohy peridural needle (Perican, Melsungen, Germany), under fluoroscopic guidance in lateral projection
