Figure 1 Survival Free of Ventricular Tachycardia Recurrence

Survival analysis showing the overall cumulative ventricular tachycardia recurrence-free survival in the entire study population. The table below the graph represents the number of events during each interval indicated on the X axis and the number of patients at risk at the beginning of that interval.

Figure 2 Survival Free of VT Recurrence by Procedural Success

Survival analysis showing the comparison in the cumulative ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence-free survival among patients undergoing complete procedural success, partial procedural success, and procedural failure for ablation of VT. The table below the graph represents the number of events during each interval indicated on the X axis and the number of patients at risk at the beginning of that interval.

Figure 3 Survival Free of VT Recurrence by Mapping Technique

Survival analysis showing the comparison in the cumulative ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence-free survival between patients undergoing the ablation process using 3-dimensional (3D) electroanatomical mapping and combination of the traditional mapping techniques. The table below the graph represents the number of events during each interval indicated on the X axis and the number of patients at risk at the beginning of that interval.

Figure 4 Survival Free of VT Recurrence by Repetition of RFA Procedure

Survival analysis showing the comparison in the cumulative ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence-free survival between patients undergoing first and subsequent catheter ablation procedures. The table below the graph represents the number of events during each interval indicated on the X axis and the number of patients at risk at the beginning of that interval. RFA = radiofrequency catheter ablation.
