Catheter ablation of frequent ventricular tachycardia after interventional left ventricular restoration with the Revivent‐Transcatheter™‐system
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Revivent-TC(™)-system is able to restore LV volumes in patients with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy. We are presenting a case report of successful implantation of the Revivent-TC(™)-system, but postprocedural development of sustained VT. This case report is presenting one way to successfully treat patients with postprocedural frequent VT.

Treatment of ventricular tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy by transcatheter radiofrequency ablation.
Catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia was successfully performed in a patient with dilated cardiomyopathy (ejection fraction 38%) and a long history of repetitive palpitations. Holter monitoring showed ventricular tachycardia that had a left bundle branch block QRS configuration with inferior axis deviation and was present for about one third of the daytime hours. At electrophysiological...
متن کاملIdiopathic Ventricular Tachycardia: Transcatheter Ablation or Antiarrhythmic Drugs?
INTRODUCTION Ventricular tachycardia or frequent premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) can occur in the absence of any detectable structural heart disease. In this clinical setting, these arrhythmias are termed idiopathic. Usually, they carry a benign prognosis and any potential ablative intervention is carried out if patients are highly symptomatic or, more importantly, if frequent ventric...

AIMS To assess the results of transcatheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias in Latin America and establish the first Latin American transcatheter ablation registry. METHODS AND RESULTS All ablation procedures performed between 1 January and 31 December 2012 were analysed retrospectively. Data were obtained on the characteristics and resources of participating centres (public or private instit...
متن کاملA case of cardiomyopathy induced by premature ventricular complexes.
Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy is a well-known and reversible condition, but the left ventricular dysfunction caused by frequent isolated premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) has been rarely reported. Apparent dilated cardiomyopathy was resolved in a patient after the focal source of PVCs was eliminated by radiofrequency catheter ablation. Echocardiography showed progressive improvement o...
متن کاملManagement of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy due to atrial flutter.
I read with interest the article by David et al. regarding a case of recurrent tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy secondary to typical atrial flutter. I have some concerns regarding the management of the recurrences of atrial flutter and tachycardiainduced cardiomyopathy in this case. The authors’ choice of treatment involved DC cardioversion of the atrial flutter that was successful in restori...
