Key result
Catheter ablation using CARTO guidance rendered 88% of ventricular tachycardias noninducible, with 76.5% of ARVD patients remaining free from VT episodes over a mean 26-month follow-up.

Does catheter ablation using CARTO guidance prevent VT recurrence in patients with ARVD?
Catheter ablation guided by the CARTO electroanatomical mapping system is effective for characterizing substrates and abolishing ventricular tachycardia in patients with ARVD.
Satomi et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia with Ventricular Tachycardia (n=17). Catheter ablation using CARTO electroanatomical mapping was evaluated on Freedom from any ventricular tachycardia episodes during follow-up. Catheter ablation using CARTO guidance rendered 88% of ventricular tachycardias noninducible, with 76.5% of ARVD patients remaining free from VT episodes over a mean 26-month follow-up.
