[Recurrent ventricular tachycardias following myocardial infarction: linear ablation strategy using an electroanatomical mapping system].
The implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is the therapy of choice for patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) after myocardial infarction. In some patients frequent ICD shocks occur, often resulting in clinical problems, if antiarrhythmic drugs insufficiently suppress them. Our aim was to describe electro-anatomical mapping and ablation techniques in patients with VTs, in which conventional strategy treatments have failed. ⋯ Electro-anatomical mapping combined with an individual linear ablation strategy is a safe and effective method to prevent symptomatic VT in patients after myocardial infarction.
