Does radiofrequency catheter ablation safely and effectively abolish inducible VT in patients with drug-resistant idiopathic ventricular tachycardia?
Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a highly successful and safe non-pharmacological curative therapy for drug-resistant idiopathic ventricular tachycardia.
Samore et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Idiopathic Ventricular Tachycardia (n=98). Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation (RFCA) was evaluated on Abolishing inducible VT. Radiofrequency catheter ablation successfully abolished inducible ventricular tachycardia in 89.8% of patients with drug-resistant idiopathic VT.
