Does electroanatomically guided RF catheter ablation reduce VT recurrence in patients with refractory VT and multiple ICD shocks?
Electroanatomic mapping-guided catheter ablation is feasible and effective in reducing VT recurrence and antiarrhythmic drug burden in patients with refractory VT and multiple ICD shocks.
