This session is focused on optimizing the management of VT to suit busy clinical practices in the community. Traditionally considered a time-consuming procedure often performed in academic centers, VT ablation can be efficiently integrated into community and private practices with the right strategies. This session will provide practical tips and tricks across the entire care continuum—from pre-ablation preparation to post-ablation follow-up—enabling more patients in the community to benefit from this critical procedure. Learn how to streamline your workflow, improve patient outcomes, and make VT ablation a feasible and effective option in your practice.

• Enhance anesthesia strategies and CCU workflows in the care of VT ablation patients.
• Develop efficient intraoperative and non-operative workflows while maintaining safety and efficacy.
• Optimize finances, billing and coding for these complex procedures.
