One Year Follow-up and Toxicity Review in a Series of 6 Patients Receiving Stereotactic Arrhythmia Radioablation for Ventricular Tachycardia

Despite increasing reports in the literature, there are no established criteria to predict success for SBRT in the context of treatment-refractory VT, or the optimal treatment dose for success, making it difficult to identify optimal patients. Current limited evidence suggests that this technique may be a relatively safe approach to provide an acute reduction in VT burden for those refractory to standard of care and has an acceptable acute toxicity profile however longer term follow-up is required. Long term toxicity, specifically to cardiac microstructures, and dose optimization is currently are the focus of ongoing study.
