Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in LVAD Patients

Characterization of Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in End-stage Heart Failure Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Device

The CHANNELED-Registry is a multicenter retrospective study to (1) systematically assess the mechanism and origin of ventricular tachycardia in patients with end-stage heart failure carrying an left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and (2) to evaluate procedural parameters and outcome of ventricular tachycardia ablation in this special subset of patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All patients with end-stage heart failure with an LVAD implanted undergoing VT ablation

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients <18 years, pregnant women, patients undergoing VT ablation without an LVAD
