Patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the context of ischemic heart disease suffer from significant morbidity and mortality. Catheter ablation can improve outcomes but has suboptimal ablation results. Ethanol ablation via epicardial veins can add significant therapeutic value to catheter ablation by increasing reach to intramural VT substrates. Investigators will randomize patients with ischemic VT to either endocardial catheter ablation alone, or combined with venous ethanol (VE) ablation of coronary veins located on the epicardial aspect of the VT substrates. A combined primary endpoint: VT recurrence, procedural complications, hospitalization for cardiac causes, and death, will be measured over a 12-month follow-up.
