Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation Treatment for Ventricular Tachycardia – A Systematic Review

Abstract

Abstract Ventricular tachycardia is a potentially life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia that can lead to sudden cardiac death. One treatment option for ventricular tachycardia is stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation, which uses multiple beams of radiation to destroy regions of abnormal heart tissue responsible for arrhythmogenesis, while minimizing injury to the surrounding healthy tissue. In recent years, significant advances have been made in the highly precise radiation therapy used for ventricular tachycardia, which could potentially improve its effectiveness and safety. In this review, we aim to provide a detailed analysis of the technology mechanism, procedural details, and clinical experience of stereotactic arrhythmia radioablation to encourage the adoption of this novel technology.
