Alternate Energy Sources for VT Ablation: Options and Clinical Outcome
Description
This session will present updates and allow discussion regarding the different ablation technologies and energy sources used for the ablation of ventricular tachycardia.
Learning Objectives
  • Describe which non RF energy can be used to perform VT ablation.
  • Demonstrate the biophysical effects of these energy sources on the ventricular substrate.
  • Describe the clinical outcome after VT ablation using alternate energy sources.
