Outcomes of catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia in patients with sarcoidosis: Insights from the National Inpatient Sample database (2002–2018)

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 33, Issue 12, Page 2585-2598, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Data on utilization, major complications, and in‐hospital mortality of catheter ablation (CA) for sarcoidosis‐related ventricular tachycardia (VT) are limited. We sought to determine the outcomes of sarcoidosis‐related VT, and incidence and predictors of complications associated with the CA procedure.
