Complications of catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia a single-center experience
Original language description
Background-Catheter ablation has become an established treatment modality for a broad spectrum of ventricular tachycardias (VTs). We analyzed incidence and predictors of major complications of VT ablation procedures in a high-volume expert center. Methods and Results-We evaluated 548 consecutive patients who underwent 722 ablation procedures, 473 (65.5%) for structural heart disease VT in the period 2006 to 2012. There were 45 (6.2%) major complications observed in 44 patients. Access site vascular complications were the most frequent (3.6%). Three patients (0.4%) had cardiac tamponade/hemopericardium, and 5 patients (0.7%) had a thromboembolic event. No procedural deaths occurred. Procedures for structural heart disease VT versus idiopathic VT had a significantly higher complication rate (8.0% versus 2.8%; P=0.006). Similarly, patients with electrical storm (10.1% versus 5.3%; P=0.04) and nonelective procedures (8.4% versus 3.5%; P=0.007) were at higher risk of complications. On multi
