We compared the acute procedural efficacy and outcomes of predominantly substrate-based ablation versus ablation guided predominantly by activation and entrainment mapping. Methods and Results Database searches through April 2016 identified 6 eligible studies (enrolling 403 patients, with 1 randomized study) comparing the 2 strategies. The relative risk of VT recurrence at follow-up was assessed as the primary outcome using a random-effects meta-analysis. Secondary endpoints of acute success (based on noninducibility of VT), procedural complications, and mortality were assessed using weighted mean difference with the random effects model. At a median follow-up of 18 months, the relative risk (RR) of VT recurrence was not significantly different with substrate-based versus activation/entrainment guided VT ablation (0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.44-1.18), P = 0.2). Acute success (RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.95-1.1, P = 0.6), procedural complications (RR 0.8, 95% CI 0.35-1.82, P = 0.5) cardiovascular mortality and total mortality did not differ significantly (RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.38-1.79, P = 0.6 and RR 0.76, 95% CI 0.36-1.59, P = 0.5, respectively). Conclusions This meta-analysis demonstrates similar acute procedural efficacy, and complications, VT recurrence and mortality rates when comparing a predominantly substrate-based ablation strategy to a strategy guided predominantly by activation and entrainment mapping of inducible and hemodynamically tolerated VTs.
