In stable ventricular tachycardia (VT), activation mapping and entrainment mapping are the most important strategies to describe the reentrant circuit and its critical components. In many patients, however, VT is noninducible or hemodynamically unstable and unmappable. Several technological advances have broadened ablation options in unmappable VTs. Preprocedural imaging and intraprocedural imaging play an important role in location and extent of the substrate. Electroanatomic mapping with several technological improvements allows more precise electrical assessment of the substrate. A combination of imaging and electroanatomic mapping allows substantial modification of arrhythmogenic substrate in sinus rhythm or during device pacing without hemodynamic compromise.
