Key result
Delayed efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation in intramural ventricular arrhythmias may occur due to progressive lesion maturation, highlighting the need for careful post-procedural observation.
Why the study?
Does delayed efficacy occur after radiofrequency catheter ablation for intramural ventricular arrhythmias, and how does it impact the timing of repeat ablation or ICD implantation?

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Recognizing delayed efficacy of radiofrequency ablation in intramural ventricular arrhythmias can prevent unnecessary premature repeat ablations or ICD implantations.
Delayed efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation may occur in intramural ventricular arrhythmias due to progressive lesion maturation rather than immediate procedural failure. Recognizing this phenomenon may prevent premature repeat ablation or implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) implantation. Careful post‐procedural observation and reassessment are essential to optimize clinical decision‐making and improve patient outcomes.
