Why the study?
Does radiofrequency linear endocardial ablation control unmappable VT in patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy?
Does radiofrequency linear endocardial ablation control unmappable VT in patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy?
Radiofrequency linear endocardial lesions appear effective for controlling unmappable ventricular tachycardia in patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
Hypothesis-generating for linear ablation in unmappable VT; prospective randomized trials needed before adoption.
Radiofrequency linear endocardial lesions extending from the dense scar to the normal myocardium or anatomic boundary seem effective in controlling unmappable VT.
