3.2. Procedural Details
Table 2 reports the procedural data of the VT ablation performed in this
study. An epicardial access was required in 13 (20%) patients.
Forty-one patients (64%) underwent a first procedure, 18 (28%) a
second, and 2 (3%) a third. The mean procedural and RF times were 246 ±
66 and 31 ± 20 minutes, respectively. The electroanatomical maps were
created with CARTO in 86% of the cases and Ensite in 13%. The 3D
mapping system was not used in 1 case (2%) because of the influence
from a ventricular assist device.
