Why the study?
Does stereotactic radiosurgery ablation eliminate recurrent ventricular tachycardia in a patient with failed catheter ablation who is unsuitable for cardiac surgery?
Does stereotactic radiosurgery ablation eliminate recurrent ventricular tachycardia in a patient with failed catheter ablation who is unsuitable for cardiac surgery?
Stereotactic radiosurgery using CyberKnife may be a safe and effective non-invasive option for treating refractory ventricular tachycardia in patients who have failed catheter ablation and are unsuitable for surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May offer non-invasive option for refractory VT after failed ablation; hypothesis-generating pending larger studies.
