Epicardial ventricular tachycardia ablation is an important treatment modality for refractory ventricular tachycardia. This comprehensive review guides clinicians through optimized strategies for improved procedural outcomes and patient safety during epicardial ventricular tachycardia ablation. Patient selection criteria, including cardiomyopathy type, electrocardiogram findings, and prior ablation history, are discussed. Detailed techniques for safe pericardial access are provided. Potential complications and strategies for prevention and management are explored. The review also addresses challenges and pitfalls of epicardial mapping and ablation.
