Article Synopsis
- Epicardial ablation is a treatment for a heart problem called ventricular tachycardias (VT), and this study looks at how safe and effective it is.
- The study examined 197 patients over several years and found that while some had complications, most procedures were successful in accessing the heart.
- About half of the patients showed no more VT after the treatment, highlighting that both the special fluid used (D5W) and regular saline were effective options.
Background: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an effective treatment option for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the electrical recovery of pulmonary veins (PVs) is the main trigger for AF recurrences. This study investigates the characteristics of patients admitted for redo AF ablation, the PV reconnection rates depending on previous ablation modalities and the impact of different ablation strategies for redo procedures.

Methods: In this large single-centre study, patients presenting with ES and undergoing VT ablation from June 2018 to April 2021 were compared to patients undergoing VT ablation due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias but without ES.
Background: Data about ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation in patients with electrical storm (ES) is limited.
Objectives: This study sought to compare the prognostic outcome of patients undergoing VT ablation after ES with and without a septal substrate.
Methods: In this large single-center study, consecutive patients presenting with ES and undergoing VT ablation from June 2018 to April 2021 were included.
