Cardiopulmonary support during electrophysiological procedures for ventricular tachycardias not haemodynamically tolerated

Abstract: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (CPS) for circulatory assistance during electrophysiological endocavitary procedures for ventricular tachycardia (VT) in high-risk patients. From January to June 1999, eight patients with VT not haemodynamically tolerated, underwent an electrophysiological mapping and ablation while supported with percutaneous CPS in the cardiac surgery service of the University of Milan. The CPS system allowed for the maintenanc… Show more

“…It enables us to define accurately the VT circuit, identify the critical isthmus, and perform limited ablation to terminate VT. A placement of an ECMO to ensure haemodynamic stability during VT thereby permits detailed activation and entrainment mapping during the clinical tachycardia and enables ablation to be performed with better outcomes. [25][26][27] Finally, VA-ECMO allows a haemodynamically stable and safe inter-hospital transfer.…”
