Background: Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is a cutting‐edge technique that employs non‐thermal energy to cause cell death by inducing irreversible electroporation of cell membranes. This systematic review evaluates the PFA effectiveness as a potential alternative to radiofrequency and cryo‐ablation for treating ventricular tachycardia. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched using keywords related to ventricular tachycardia and pulsed‐field ablation. Eligible Studies evaluating this therapeutic approach for ventricular tachycardia were included in the final analysis. Results: We included six studies (five case reports and one case series) in our systematic review. Eight (88.8%) of procedures were successful with 100% long‐term efficacy. No procedural complications or ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrence were observed in the cases. Conclusion: The absence of complications, high effectiveness, and long‐term success rate make PFAs a good VT treatment option. However, PFA safety and efficacy studies for VT treatment are scarce. Thus, larger investigations on this topic are urgently needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
