Abstract:
The treatment of post-infarction ventricular tachycardias with antiarrhythmic drug therapy, implantable automatic defibrillators, radiofrequency ablation, also includes different surgical procedures such as endocardial resection of the infarct scar, encircling endocardial ventriculotomy and endocardial cryoablation or thermoexclusion by laser. These procedures may be extensive or limited, guided or not by preoperative mapping. The aim of this review of the literature is to update our knowledge of these different surgical techniques and to define their indications.
