May suggest VF-prevention options beyond reactive ICDs in BrS; leaves open whether such approaches merit prospective trials.
Epicardial catheter ablation is an increasingly applicable and effective alternative therapy for managing recurrent ventricular fibrillation in Brugada syndrome.
Talib et al. (2019) conducted a review in Brugada syndrome. Catheter ablation was evaluated. Catheter ablation, particularly targeting the epicardial substrate in the right ventricular outflow tract, has emerged as an effective therapy for preventing recurrent ventricular fibrillation in patients with Brugada syndrome.
