"From Surface to Substrate: Advancing VT Ablation Strategies for Deep Arrhythmic Substrates"-A Review of Emerging Techniques in Intramural Lesion Formation.
Review in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Intramural ventricular tachycardia represents a formidable frontier in catheter ablation, where the arrhythmogenic substrate resides deep within the myocardial wall, often beyond the reach of conventional energy delivery. Achieving durable lesion formation in this setting requires a strategic balance between transmural efficacy and procedural safety. This review synthesizes the evolving landscape of intramural ventricular tachycardia ablation, detailing contemporary techniques, including bipolar ablation, needle-based approaches, simultaneous endocardial-epicardial delivery, and emerging energy modalities, each tailored to overcome the limitations of lesion depth and tissue heterogeneity. We examine diagnostic criteria, imaging adjuncts, and electroanatomic mapping strategies that guide procedural planning and highlight innovations aimed at enhancing lesion depth without compromising adjacent structures. By integrating current evidence and expert practice, this article offers a comprehensive framework for navigating the complexities of intramural ventricular tachycardia ablation and advancing outcomes in this challenging domain.
