Does irrigated radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by electroanatomic mapping reduce episodes of recurrent VT in patients with prior myocardial infarction?
Catheter ablation is a reasonable option to reduce recurrent VT in post-MI patients, but they remain at high risk for death.
Catheter ablation is a reasonable option to reduce episodes of recurrent VT in patients with prior myocardial infarction, even when multiple and/or unmappable VTs are present. This population remains at high risk for death, warranting surveillance and further study.
