Long‐Term Follow‐Up After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia: A Successful Approach?

Abstract

RFCA of VT can be performed with a high degree of success (83%). The long-term outcome of successfully ablated patients is promising, with a 75% relative risk reduction compared with nonsuccessfully ablated patients. During follow-up, only one patient died suddenly, supporting a selective ICD placement approach in patients with hemodynamically stable VT.
