Recurrent angina after coronary revascularization: a clinical challenge.

abstract：BACKGROUND:In patients with postinfarction sustained ventricular tachycardia showing one or more antiarrhythmic drug failures, the question is how long to proceed with new drug trials before deciding to perform map-guided arrhythmia surgery. Although the techniques of this surgery developed rapidly in the early 1980s, ...
