Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia | Procedure: SBRT | Not Applicable |
STRA-MI-VT study is a spontaneous, open-label, not randomized, prospective clinical trial.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SBRT in strictly selected patients with refractory VT.
Multimodal cardiac imaging combined with electroanatomic mapping to provide a specific patient's tailored SBRT treatment plan choosing amang different linear accelerators.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Open Label
Non-randomized, open label clinical trial that intends to treat with SBRT 15 patients with refractory VT.
|
Procedure: SBRT
Multimodal-imaging guided SBRT for VT ablation. |
- SBRT safety during 12 month follow-up [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Serious adverse events will be defined using CTCAE v4.0 criteria.
- SBRT efficacy based on reduction of VT episodes during 12 month follow-up [ Time Frame: 12 months ]There will be 6 week blanking period after therapy to allow for ablation effect
- Total mortality [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
- Health related quality of life [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Health related quality of life for positive or negative changes based on score from SF-36 Questionnaire
- Cardiac functional changes [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Cardiac functional changes evaluated by echocardiography ejection fraction
