The article discusses a multicenter study of the difference in the long-term (LT) freedom from ventricular arrhythmias in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) who are undergoing ventricular tachycardia ablation by using either endocardial-alone ablation (EAA) or endo-epicardial ablation (EEA). The researchers found that an EEA approach offers higher LT arrhythmia survival than the EAA strategy.
