About this trial
The EPISODE VT trial is designed to compare efficacy and safety of two modalities for interventional treatment - endocardial ablation and endo-epicardial ablation in a population of patients with post myocardial infarction (ICD 10 - I25.2) ventricular tachycardias (ICD 10 - I47.2), who are protected by an implantable cardioverter-defibrilator (ICD) and meet study inclusion criteria.
