Background-Ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrate ablation usually requires extensive ablation. Scar dechanneling technique may limit the extent of ablation needed.Methods and Results-The study included 101 consecutive patients with left ventricular scar-related VT (75 ischemic patients; left ventricular ejection fraction, 36+/-13%). Procedural end point was the elimination of all identified conducting channels (CCs) by ablation at the CC entrance followed by abolition of residual inducible VTs. By itself, scar dechanneling rendered noninducibility in 54.5% of patients; ablation of residual inducible VT increased noninducibility to 78.2%. Patients needing only scar dechanneling had a shorter procedure (213+/-64 versus 244+/-71 minutes; P=0.027), fewer radiofrequency applications (19+/-11% versus 27+/-18%; P=0.01), and external cardioversion/defibrillation shocks (20% versus 65.2%; P
