* The endpoint was freedom from ventricular tachycardia after the last ablation. AV = arterovenous, CT = constrictive pericarditis, HF = heart failure death, HT = heart transplantation, MI = myocardial infarction, NC = non-cardiac death, PE = pulmonary embolism, TIA = transient ischemic attack, RV = right ventricular.
