OBJECTIVE: @entity15262 ( @entity15262 ) is a life-threatening pathology that requires immediate and effective treatment due to increased morbidity and mortality. @entity1212 ( @entity1212 ) is an effective therapeutic option, particularly in @entity1 with drug resistant ventricular @entity943 episodes. These procedures should only be performed in highly specialized and experienced centers. Here we aimed to assess safety and efficacy of @entity1212 in a relatively large cohort with @entity15262 in our tertiary center hospital. METHODS: A total of 44 @entity1 (90.9% male; mean age: 59.7  10.3 years) with @entity296 undergoing @entity1212 for drug-refractory @entity15262 were prospectively evaluated. Procedures were performed using non-contact and electro-anatomic mapping systems. Long-term follow-up analysis addressed the predictors of @entity15262 recurrence and @entity299 . RESULTS: Acute success rates for clinical and non-clinical VTs were 90.8% and 55.5%, respectively. A mean follow-up at 28  11 months revealed @entity299 in 8 (18%) @entity1 , 39 (88.6%) @entity1 were free from the @entity15262 , and 24 (55%) @entity1 remained free from both @entity15262 and paroxysmal VT episodes. In multivariate regression analysis, recurrence of @entity15262 (OR=3.11, 95% CI: 1.65-4.62, p=0.001), LVEF, and serum @entity1011 were found as independent predictors of @entity299 . In addition, substrate based ablation, implantation of @entity1479 for secondary prophylaxis, LVEF, and serum @entity1011 were good predictors of @entity15262 recurrence. CONCLUSION: @entity1212 for @entity943 in the course of @entity15262 in @entity1 with @entity296 is safe with an acceptable success rate.
