About this trial
The investigators aim to characterize patients presenting with a severe ventricular tachycardia (VT) and premature ventricular complex (PVC)-ablation-related complication including patient characteristics, procedural details and subsequent management of the complication by gathering existing patient-level data.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Centers : Centers participating in the present collaborative study group. Invitation to participate will be based either upon personal referral of one of the investigator, previous collaboration or based on a meta-analytic review of the literature published on the subject within the past 20 years.
Patients: Females and males of >18 years undergoing any type of VT/PVC ablation. While we will accept redo-procedure we will ask for a unique patient-identifier to link procedures belonging to the same patients together.
Interventions: VT/PVC ablation (first intervention or re-do) as routinely performed by the participating centers
Outcomes: Severe complications, defined as hemodynamic instability requiring mechanical intensive-care management, tamponade, stroke, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, phrenic nerve palsies, major bleeding requiring transfusion, vascular or cardiac complication requiring surgery, procedure-related death.
Disqualifiers
Refusal of the center to participate.
Less than 10 procedures available in the dataset (no case reports)
Missing essential baseline characteristics, missing collection of sufficient details regarding each complication.
