I | C‐EO | 1. In select patients at risk of requiring HS, a decision to proceed with catheter ablation of VA should be made in collaboration with specialists in advanced heart failure management. | |
IIa | B‐NR | 2. In select patients, HS with a percutaneous VAD and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during VT ablation can be useful to avoid acute hemodynamic deterioration. | S6.4.1–S6.4.7 |
IIb | B‐NR | 3. Mechanical HS may be considered in select cases to allow mapping and ablation of unstable VTs. | S6.4.1–S6.4.6 |
