Is it possible to use something like the maze procedure to treat ventricuar arrhythmia?

I see the maze procedure indicated for catheter refractory atrial fibrillation, is it performed for ventricular arrhythmia too? From what I read poststabilisation management of VT/VF goes from radio-frequency ablation to ICD. Is it not somewhat palliative? No room for a more curative cardiothoracic approach in between?
