Why the study?
Catheter ablation for scar-related VT in patients with structural heart disease can be complex and challenging due to VT circuit configurations and their interplay with underlying structural heart disease.
A systematic approach to VT ablation, including preprocedural assessment, procedural techniques, and postprocedural care, can help achieve successful outcomes in patients with structural heart disease.
May guide VT ablation standardization in SHD; leaves open prospective outcome validation before practice change.
Catheter ablation has emerged as a pivotal therapeutic strategy for managing scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with structural heart disease (SHD). However, VT ablation can be complex and challenging because of the nature of VT circuit configurations and their interplay with the underlying SHD. This review outlines our systematic approach to VT ablation within the context of SHD, focusing on preprocedural assessment, procedural techniques, and postprocedural care. By adopting a systematic approach and leveraging technological advancements, successful VT ablation outcomes can be achieved in patients with SHD.
