Safety of Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation in Clinical Practice: Findings from 9699 Hospital Discharge Records [Original Articles]

VT ablation–associated AE rates in clinical practice are similar to those reported in the literature. Over time rates have increased as have the number of AE risk factors per patient. Ablations done electively and at hospitals with higher procedural volume are associated with lower incidence of AEs.
