Does epicardial catheter ablation prevent recurrent ventricular fibrillation in patients with drug-refractory Brugada syndrome?
Epicardial substrate modification by catheter ablation in the RVOT may be an effective treatment for symptomatic, drug-refractory Brugada syndrome.
Qin et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Brugada syndrome (n=1). Epicardial catheter ablation was evaluated on Recurrence of ventricular fibrillation. Epicardial catheter ablation of the right ventricular outflow tract eliminated abnormal local electrical activity and prevented recurrence of ventricular fibrillation over five months of follow-up.
