Six patients, four male and two female (mean age 55 \u00b1 7 years and mean LVEF\u201442 \u00b1 21%) with ES underwent the procedure under fluoroscopic guidance. All patients experienced recurrent ICD shocks or required multiple external defibrillation shocks. There were no procedural complications. All patients survived free of ES at discharge. At a mean follow\u2014up of 22 \u00b1 8months, all were alive free of ES but two patients received appropriate shocks for VT and one patient had VT terminated by ATP.<\/jats:p>\n
