Abstract:Background
Catheter ablation is one of the most effective treatment options for patients with drug-refractory, scar-related monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). In selected cases, catheter ablation also plays an important role in treatment of polymorphic VT (PMVT) and/or ventricular fibrillation (VF). Rarely, premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) originating from the Purkinje network can induce PMVT/VF. Ablation and elimination of these PVCs can prevent VF recurrences.
