Photon-Counting Detector Computed Tomography Depicts a Ventricular Tachycardia Substrate: Periaortic Septal Intramural Late Iodine Enhancement.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRecent studies have demonstrated that delayed enhancement using contrast-enhanced computed tomography corresponds with late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. However, few studies have evaluated scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrates using high-resolution photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT). CASE SUMMARY: A 49-year-old man with cardiac sarcoidosis underwent catheter ablation of monomorphic VT. Preoperative iodine mapping on PCD-CT showed late iodine enhancement (LIE) localized to the septal region between the periaortic region and right ventricular outflow tract. Electroanatomic mapping revealed a localized abnormal voltage area and line of conduction block with split potentials colocalized with the LIE. Radiofrequency ablation was performed from both the right and left ventricular outflow tracts and successfully eliminated the VT inducibility. No ICD shocks have occurred after the procedure. DISCUSSION: PCD-CT provides improved signal detection and superior spatial resolution, enabling visualization of VT substrates in anatomically challenging regions. In patients who are contraindicated for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, PCD-CT serves as a valuable alternative imaging modality.
