Does right ventricular disarticulation improve long-term outcomes in patients with ARVD or refractory ventricular tachycardia?
Right ventricular disarticulation is an effective antiarrhythmic procedure for refractory ventricular tachycardia when other therapies fail, though long-term biventricular failure may occur.
Zacharias et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) or refractory tachycardia (n=17). Right ventricular disarticulation was evaluated on 10-year event-free survival. Right ventricular disarticulation for refractory tachycardia demonstrated a 6% hospital mortality and a 77% event-free survival at 10 years.
