Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement and Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Tetralogy of Fallot
Jacksonville, FL; Rochester, MN
The aim of this study is to determine the outcomes of catheter ablation before transcatheter PVR among patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF, a specific type of congenital heart defect). It is hypothesized that a combination of successful catheter ablation and transcatheter PVR placement will result in a reduction in a conventional risk score calculation (and consequently, fewer patients meeting criteria for primary prevention ICD placement) owing to a combination of VT circuit elimination and favorable RV remodeling.
