Abstract
Surgical epicardial access after cardiac surgery for ablation of VT in patients with careful preprocedure evaluation can be performed with acceptable safety with no statistical difference in long-term outcomes compared with a propensity-matched percutaneous epicardial cohort. The region of left ventricular epicardium that can be mapped is limited compared with that of percutaneous cases and is determined by the surgical approach.
