210 Currently, however, ablation is mostly reserved for patients with recurrent ICD shocks that cannot be managed with medical therapy or for those in whom an ICD is indicated but not implanted (eg, strong patient preference). There are insufficient data to support its use in asymptomatic ...
ablation for VT occurring in pts with SHD without ICD appears relatively safe and efficient and may be considered in some cases when ICD therapy is not desired because of associated morbidity, advanced age or when VT is well tolerated and does not occur in the context of advanced heart ...
Needle ablation was performed in 31 patients (median of 2 failed prior ablation procedures; 71% nonischemic heart disease). After a median of 15 needle lesions/patient, ablation abolished at least 1 inducible VT in 19 of 26 VT patients (73%), and suppressed ambient arrhythmia in 4 of 5 ...
Patients with structural heart disease (SHD) who experience sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (SMVT) are usually considered to have a poor prognosis. This article discusses the results of the Radio-Frequency Ablation as a primary management for Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia in ...
Radiofrequency catheter ablation can be used as an effective rescue treatment for patients with an ICD storm. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an infant with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy presenting with an ICD storm and undergoing successful radiofrequency catheter ablation salvage treatment...

The article presents a case study of a 77 year old man with a history of an ischemic cardiomyopathy and recurrent ventricular tachycardia refractory to amiodarone therapy who was implanted with a defibrillator was referred to physicians for radiofrequency catheter ablat...
The early success of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and impact on ICD delivered therapy (including the need for antitachycardia pacing (ATP) or ICD shock) after the procedure, due to recurrent VT events, is still not clear.Hypothesis: Recurrences of VT during 12 months of follow up (FU) ...
We evaluated the ICD therapy burden 1 month pre-RSD to monthly ICD therapies over the 6 month period post-RSD.Results: We performed RSD on 10 patients (mean age=62卤10 years,90% male). Nine (90%) had NICM. Mean LVEF was 33卤10%. All had prior catheter ablations for VT (median ...
