Contemporary Outcomes of Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Left Ventricular Assist Device Therapy: A Meta‐Analysis
Catheter ablation is a safe and feasible treatment for refractory VAs in LVAD patients as evidenced by low complication rates and reasonable acute success. Yet, the persistence of considerable VT recurrence and all-cause mortality reflects the clinical complexity of this population. Procedural challenges include mapping limitations caused by EMI, particularly in the HM3 era.
