Executive Summary
Cardiologist Philip Cuculich, oncologist Clifford Robinson and other researchers at the University of Washington in St. Louis are working with US FDA to design a multicenter trial of their technique for noninvasive cardiac radioablation of ventricular tachycardia using stereotactic body radiation. See what Cuculich said about it here.
"The beauty of what we've invented here for patients is taking an eight-hour procedure and turning it into an 80-minute procedure as an outpatient. [This] is a major boon for patients and their safety and recovery from this type of procedure," –Philip Cuculich, cardiologist/electrophysiologist at Washington University in St. Louis
