Stepwise Approach to Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Structural Heart Disease
Catheter ablation has emerged as a pivotal therapeutic strategy for managing scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with structural heart disease (SHD). However, VT ablation can be complex and challenging because of the nature of VT circuit configurations and their interplay with the underlying SHD. This review outlines our systematic approach to VT ablation within the context of SHD, focusing on preprocedural assessment, procedural techniques, and postprocedural care. By adopting a systematic approach and leveraging technological advancements, successful VT ablation outcomes can be achieved in patients with SHD.
