Twenty-five years of catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia: a look back and a look
forward Page 1 Twenty-five years of catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia: a look back …

Ventricular tachycardia (VT), and its occurrence, is still one of the main reasons for sudden
cardiac death and, therefore, for increased mortality and morbidity foremost in patients with …

Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of intramural ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) may require
advanced ablation techniques to achieve effective energy transfer to the targeted tissue. As …

Background Stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation (STAR) is a treatment option for recurrent
ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF) in patients with structural heart disease (SHD) …

Aims Advanced ablation strategies are needed to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT) and
premature ventricular complexes (PVC) refractory to standard unipolar radiofrequency …

Aims Short-term ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring is often used to assess
premature atrial complex (PAC) and premature ventricular complex (PVC) frequency, but the …

Aims Failure of radiofrequency (RF) ablation of ventricular arrhythmias is often due to
inadequate lesion size. Irrigated RF ablation with half-normal saline (HNS) has the potential …

Aims Patients undergoing catheter ablation (CA) of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) are
generally observed overnight in the hospital given the concern for complications. To …

Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are common arrhythmias in clinical practice.
Although benign and asymptomatic in most cases, PVCs may result in disabling symptoms …

An expanding spectrum of techniques which can optimize the precision and effectiveness of
catheter ablation procedures may improve PVC/VT ablation outcomes. Novel ablation …
