Background: Catheter ablation is the primary treatment option for idiopathic ventricular tachycardia (VT). It plays a key role in acute therapy of electrical storm, treatment of VTs in patients with structural heart disease (SHD), and can reduce VT burden. Here we report on 10-year clinical outcomes following VT ablation from patients enrolled in the prospective German Ablation Registry.

Background: Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) arising from the left anterior fascicle (LAF) are uncommonly seen, and their characteristics still need to be sufficiently investigated. This study aimed to conclude these VAs' characteristics and explore efficient ablation strategies.
Methods: Data were analyzed from 118 patients undergoing successful catheter ablation for LAF VAs.

Objective: The American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) Clinical Practice Standards Committee (CPSC) previously published important considerations in determining who is at high risk for complications or mortality after lobectomy. Sublobar resection, stereotactic ablative radiotherapy, or image-guided thermal ablation is typically considered when the risks associated with lobectomy are high. The current objective was to evaluate important lung-nodule-related factors to consider during treatment selection for high-risk patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) arising from the right ventricle outflow tract is the most common cause of VT in children with a structurally normal heart. It often presents as a monomorphic VT that is usually amenable to ablation during an electrophysiology (EP) study. VT in children is typically idiopathic and benign but carries a risk for the degeneration of the arrhythmia into ventricular fibrillation or can result in sudden cardiac death.
