Why the study?
What are the predictors of mortality and nonfatal VT recurrence following catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia?
What are the predictors of mortality and nonfatal VT recurrence following catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia?
Procedural failure during VT ablation is the sole independent predictor of nonfatal VT recurrence, highlighting the critical importance of procedural success.
May warrant efforts to optimize procedural success in VT ablation; leaves open effects on mortality and need for randomized confirmation.
Procedural failure was the sole independent predictor for nonfatal VT recurrence for our study cohort. This emphasizes the importance of a successful ablation procedure in experienced hands to reduce long-term mortality and nonfatal VT recurrence.
