Résumé
Stereotactic body radiotherapy is a recent promising therapeutic alternative in cases of failed catheter ablation for recurrent ventricular tachycardias (VTs) in patients with structural heart disease. Initial clinical experience with a single radiation dose of 25 Gy shows reasonable efficacy in the reduction of VT recurrences with acceptable acute toxicity. Many unanswered questions remain, including unknown mechanism of action, variable time to effect, optimal method of substrate targeting, long-term safety, and definition of an optimal candidate for this treatment."
