Ventricular tachycardic storm with a chronic total coronary artery occlusion treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.
A 66-year-old man with a history of coronary artery disease was evaluated due to ventricular tachycardic (VT) storm. The patient continued to have frequent recurrences of VT despite treatment with amiodarone and lidocaine. Since the ventricular arrhythmia could be related to myocardial ischemia related to a chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the right coronary artery, the patient underwent succes...
متن کاملEditorial Chronic Coronary Total Occlusion
Chronic total occlusion (CTO) is quite frequent finding in coronary artery disease. Comprised of a combination of fibrocalcific and thrombotic elements, CTO has been reported in approximately onethird of patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. This thematic issue goes in depth into “coronary CTO ” that still represents the last frontier in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ...
متن کاملVentricular arrhythmias among implantable cardioverter-defibrillator recipients for primary prevention: impact of chronic total coronary occlusion (VACTO Primary Study).
BACKGROUND An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is the therapy of choice for primary prevention in patients with ischemia who are at risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD). One third of patients with significant coronary disease have chronic total coronary occlusion (CTO), which is associated with long-term mortality in patients with previous myocardial infarction. However, the impact o...
متن کاملErythropoietin stimulates the coronary collateral development in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion
OBJECTIVE Erythropoietin (EPO) improves cardiac function and induces neovascularisation in post-myocardial infarction heart failure. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between the serum erythropoietin level and coronary collateral development in patients with coronary artery disease and chronic total occlusion. METHODS A total of 168 patients consisting of 117 with coronary ...
متن کاملEarly repolarization associated with ventricular arrhythmias in patients with chronic coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Early repolarization, indicated on the standard 12-lead ECG, has recently been associated with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation in patients without structural heart disease. It is unknown whether there is an association between early repolarization and ventricular arrhythmias in the coronary artery disease (CAD) population. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with CAD with implantable ...
