Catheter ablation is useful for reducing drug refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) episodes and can be life-saving when VT is incessant or arrhythmic storm. Left ventricular hemodynamic support may be required in patients with VT and hemodynamic instability. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is an alternative to achieve ventricular tachycardia mapping and ablation over long periods of time. We present a case of successful catheter ablation of substrate in a patient with ischemic heart disease and ventricular tachycardia with hemodynamic instability performed using venous- arterial ECMO support. There were not episodes of ventricular tachycardia after 2 years of follow-up.
导管消融术对于减少药物难治性室性心动过速(VT)发作很有用,当VT持续发作或出现心律失常风暴时,它可能挽救生命。VT伴血流动力学不稳定的患者可能需要左心室血流动力学支持。体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)支持是一种可用于长时间进行室性心动过速标测和消融的替代方法。我们报告一例缺血性心脏病合并室性心动过速伴血流动力学不稳定患者,使用静脉-动脉ECMO支持成功进行了基质导管消融术。随访2年后未再出现室性心动过速发作。
