Subcutaneous ICD Implantation and Catheter Ablation: A Step-Planned Approach for Ventricular Tachycardia Management in ARVC

Secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death in the young patient with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and hemodynamically tolerated ventricular tachycardia is still a challenging field. We present a combined approach, including subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and catheter ablation, as a promising treatment to prevent both ventricular tachycardia recurrences and ICD shocks.
