Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy: A Meta‐Analysis With Reconstructed Time‐to‐Event and Trial Sequential Analysis
Among patients with IHD with ICD, VT ablation reduces ICD shocks, VT storm, and cardiovascular hospitalizations compared to ICD-only therapy, but offers no significant advantage over ICD combined with AADs. VT ablation does not impact overall mortality or the recurrence of VT/VF. Trial sequential analysis confirmed conclusive evidence for VT/VF recurrence, while additional data is needed for other outcomes.
