Context:

Catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT) currently has limited success rates.
There is a significant need for improved mapping and ablation strategies.

Purpose:

To review emerging catheter-based mapping and ablation technologies for ventricular tachycardia.
To discuss the potential of these new techniques to improve VT treatment efficacy.

Summary:

Novel mapping techniques include epicardial multielectrode catheters, basket catheters, and non-contact 3D mapping.
Advanced ablation methods involve cooled radiofrequency, microwave, laser, chemical, ultrasound, cryo, and thermal energy.
These innovations aim to create deeper, larger, and more precise lesions for effective VT elimination.

Impact:

These advancements hold the potential to significantly improve the success rates of ventricular tachycardia ablation.
Future clinical practice may benefit from these enhanced diagnostic and therapeutic tools for managing complex arrhythmias.
