Hot Topics in Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias

Description

Management and ablation of ventricular arrhythmias continues to pose a challenge, especially in specific clinical scenarios. This session will frame adjunctive and potentially controversial approaches for ablation of ventricular arrhythmias in increasingly common and challenging circumstances.

Learning Objectives

Identify instances in which ablation of ventricular arrhythmias in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy may defer need for ICD implantation.
Evaluate when and how adjunctive ablation techniques may be needed to control refractory ventricular arrhythmias.
Assess best approaches for optimizing outcomes and safety for ablation of ventricular fibrillation.
