Abstract:
Intra-axial pumps are increasingly used to support cardiogenic shock. The occurrence of electrical storms in this setting is a rising issue, and data remain scarce about optimal management. We report the feasibility of ventricular tachycardia ablation in the presence of a recent surgically inserted Impella 5.0 device (Abiomed, Danvers, Massachusetts). (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
