“…Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) can deliver high-dose radiation to targeted tissue in a precise manner with minimal damage to adjacent tissue which may mitigate exposure to usual complications of invasive conventional VT ablation approaches. [ 58 ] SBRT may have a role in the treatment of VAs as it can reach areas of inaccessible arrhythmogenic areas and achieve transmural lesions.…”

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathies. In most patients, the primary strategy of VT catheter ablation is based on the identification of critical components of reentry circuits and modification of abnormal substrate which can initiate reentry. Despite technological advancements in catheter design and improved ability to localise abnormal substrates, putative circuits and site of origins of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), current technologies remain inadequate and durable success may be elusive when the critical substrate is deep or near to critical structures that are at risk of collateral damage. In this article, we review the available and potential future non-surgical investigational approaches for treatment of VAs and discuss the viability of these modalities.

“…Pastapur et al have complied a comprehensive review of potential complications of CA for VAs. The authors nicely examined the spectrum of safety concerns, spanning common vascular complications to the less common hemodynamic decompensation, thromboembolism, valvular injury, aortic injury, CIED lead dislodgement, proarrhythmia, conduction system injury, coronary injury, and epicardial injury [13]. This is a valuable resource for clinicians to reference as they design treatment plans for patients with VAs.…”
