Advances in Ventricular Arrhythmia Ablation for Brugada Syndrome

Abstract

Three decades have passed since the Brugada syndrome (BrS) clinical entity was introduced in the early 1990s. During the first 2 decades, treatment of patients with BrS was challenging because there were limited treatment options, and an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator was the only choice for high-risk patients with BrS, that is, those who had aborted sudden cardiac death or had previous ventricular fibrillation episodes. In this article, the authors focus on these advances and how to treat patients with BrS with catheter ablation.
