Implication

Acute success after post-MI VT ablation may predict lower recurrence; leaves open whether ablation prevents events versus medical therapy alone.

Does radiofrequency ablation prevent recurrent ventricular tachycardia in patients with post infarction ventricular tachycardia?

Population

112 consecutive patients with post infarction ventricular tachycardia, 74% with LVEF <35%, 84% with >1 morphology of ventricular tachycardia, and 30% with haemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia.

Intervention

Radiofrequency ablation

Outcome

Acute procedural success (complete success defined as no inducible sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia, or modified result defined as ventricular tachycardia only inducible by two stimuli more aggressive than at baseline)hard clinical

Radiofrequency ablation for post-infarction ventricular tachycardia is a successful procedure with a low complication rate, where acute procedural success accurately predicts long-term freedom from recurrence.
