During ablation of re-entrant ventricular tachycardia (VT) 3-dimensional mapping systems are now used to properly delineate the scar tissue and aid ablation of scar-related VT. The aim of our study was to outline how the mode of ablation predicts success and recurrence in large scar-related VT. When comparing patients with recurrence and patients with no recurrence, univariate analysis showed that number of ablation lesions (28 ± 8 vs. 12 ± 8, P = 0.01) and more linear ablation lesions rather than focal lesions (P = 0.03) were associated with long-term success. We demonstrated that more extensive ablation lesions and creation of linear lesions is associated with better success rate and lower recurrence rate during ablation of large scar-related ventricular tachycardia. |
