Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| This study will test the hypothesis that the combined endo- and epicardial ablation therapy but not the endocardial ablation will result in isolation of the VA substrate and that the combined approach will be more effective in preventing reinducibility and spontaneous occurrence of VA. The main study parameters are acute conduction properties across the ablation line intraoperatively. inducibility of VTs before and after surgery and spontaneous VA as registered by the internal cardiac defibrillator. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secundary study parameters include inducibility of VTs before and after surgery and spontaneous VA as registered by the internal cardiac defibrillator. | — |
