Structured PICO

Does radiofrequency linear endocardial ablation control unmappable VT in patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy?

P
Population
Patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy and unmappable ventricular tachycardia (VT)
I
Intervention
Radiofrequency linear endocardial lesions extending from the dense scar to the normal myocardium or anatomic boundary
O
Outcome
Control of unmappable VT

Radiofrequency linear endocardial lesions appear effective for controlling unmappable ventricular tachycardia in patients with ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract

Radiofrequency linear endocardial lesions extending from the dense scar to the normal myocardium or anatomic boundary seem effective in controlling unmappable VT.
