Implication
Endocavitary ablation may be considered in VT; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
Structured PICO
Can endocavitary structures be safely and successfully targeted during ventricular tachycardia ablation procedures?
P
Population
Patients undergoing ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation procedures
I
Intervention
Specific mapping and targeted ablation of endocavitary structures (ECS)
O
Outcome
Successful ablation without valve damagesafety
Endocavitary structures should be considered for specific mapping and can be safely targeted during VT ablation without causing valve damage.
