Does transcoronary ethanol ablation improve arrhythmia control in patients with recurrent ventricular tachycardia after failed catheter ablation?
Transcoronary ethanol ablation provides a viable salvage therapy for difficult-to-control VT after failed catheter ablation, eliminating inducibility in 82% of treated patients, though long-term recurrence and complication rates remain significant.
