Patients undergoing emergent VT ablation face high risks of prolonged hospitalization and 30-day mortality, particularly those with advanced NYHA class or prior failed ablation.
Patients undergoing emergent VT ablation are at high risk for prolonged hospital stay, which is predicted by NYHA functional class III or higher and a prior failed ablation. Early VT recurrences and worsening heart failure contribute to prolonged hospitalization and a high 30-day mortality.
