Abstract
In patients with infarct-related VT, noncontact mapping-guided VT ablation is associated with a high procedural success rate, and VT recurrence necessitating ICD therapy delivery is significantly reduced. However, only 42.5% of patients remain free from VT/VF 3 years after ablation. Catheter ablation for infarct-related VT is indicated as an adjunctive therapy in patients with symptomatic VT but cannot substitute for ICDs and antiarrhythmic drugs.
