The importance of VT ablation
CA is an important option to control VTs
Ablation is often a sole therapy of VT in
patients without structural heart disease
Ablation is commonly combined with an ICD
and/or antiarrhythmic therapy for VTs
associated with structural heart disease

The mechanisms of VT
Structural Heart Disease----scar-related reentry
MI, ARVC, sarcoidosis, Chagas’disease, DCM, and after cardiac
surgery for CHD
Idiopathic----Focal VT
Automaticity
Triggered activity
microreentry
Automatic VTs can occur in structural heart disease, and automatic
premature beats may initiate reentrant VTs

Catheter ablation results of VT ablation
Idiopathic VT
Acute procedural success is approximately 90%
10-15% need redo procedure
VT with structural heart disease
Acute success rate 80%
But nearly 50% of patients with structrual heart disease
experiencing VT recurrence at long-term follow-up post CA

The possible reasons of VT which
requires redo ablation
Misdiagnosis or the mechanism unexplainable
Inaccurate location of the VT origin due to the limitations
of mapping techniques
VT was not inducible or unmappable during the
procedure
VT was deep inside or epicardial
VT substrate was not sufficiently modified or progressive
Poor contact force and lesion recovery

A case of DCM with 9 VTs
• A 26-year old man with frequent palpitation and dizziness
• Sustained pleomorphic VTs were detected
• Five members suffered from sudden death in his family
• DCM was diagnosed and ICD was implanted in 2010
• Shocks were delivered frequently due to VTs storm
• Referred to our institution for VT ablation

Decision of open chest mapping and ablation and
LV lead epicardial replacement
• Previous two epicardial ablations via subxiphoid
approach: pericardial adhesion was suspected
• VT recurred twice after epicardial ablation might be
due to poor tissue contact or pericardial fat
• Transvenous LV lead was not placed at the
dissynchronized area limited by coronary venous
structure and its proximity to the border zone of the
scar area

Follow up result
• During follow-up, no VT storm occurred with drug
therapy of the previous regimen except 11 events of
slow VT with the cycle length of 480~520ms.
• The LV function was slightly improved with EF of
38% and symptoms were alleviated.

Home messages for VT ablation
Detailed EP study and careful mapping should be
performed
Mapping strategy should be combined or
individualized
Preventive ablations should be done besides
clinical VT ablation
Energy delivery or the contact force must be
increased at certain areas
