The management of patients after catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia is not well defined. In this article we summarize recently published results and report our own experience. Factors influencing the clinical outcome of these patients and methods to identify patients with an increased risk of recurrence of ventricular tachycardia are discussed. Furthermore, a review is given on current concomitant therapeutic tools including antiarrhythmic drugs and the implantation of an automatic cardioverter defibrillator.
