Why the study?

Does CMR-aided scar dechanneling improve acute and long-term outcomes (need for RF delivery, noninducibility, and VT-recurrence-free survival)?

Authors

Discussion

May support CMR-guided VT ablation; leaves open need for RCTs amid mixed prior evidence.

Does CMR-aided scar dechanneling improve acute and long-term outcomes (need for RF delivery, noninducibility, and VT-recurrence-free survival)?

Intervention

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-aided scar dechanneling

Outcome

Need for RF delivery, noninducibility rates after substrate ablation, and VT-recurrence-free survival

CMR-aided scar dechanneling may improve procedural efficiency and long-term outcomes in ventricular tachycardia ablation.

Andreu et al. (2017) studied this question.
