Surgery for ventricular tachycardias late after myocardial infarction is frequently associated with high mortality including sudden death, and arrhythmia recurrences. We examined our results of sequential map-guided endocardial resection at normothermia in patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias late after myocardial infarction to assess the efficacy of this technique as well as the early and long-term outcome.
