May support remote magnetic navigation ablation for ischemic VT storm; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does radiofrequency ablation using a remote magnetic navigation system and irrigated tip catheter improve acute success and prevent VT recurrence in patients with ischemic heart disease and electrical storm?
Irrigated tip magnetic catheter ablation using remote magnetic navigation is an effective and safe modality for managing scar-related VT electrical storm in ischemic cardiomyopathy.
