Stereotactic body radiotherapy for ventricular tachycardia (cardiac radiosurgery)

ConclusionCRS/RA appears to be a  possible treatment option for otherwise untreatable patients suffering from refractory VT and electrical storm. A relevant reduction in VT incidence and ICD interventions was observed, although long-term outcome and consequences of CRS/RA remain unclear. Clinical trials are strongly warranted and have been initiated.
