LOSANTOS-SAAVEDRA, Carla A.; BUSTILLOS-GARCIA, Gabriela A.; CATRIP-TORRES, Jorge M.  e  NAVA, Santiago. Ablation of ventricular tachycardia assisted with ECMO. First experience in our institution. Arch. Cardiol. Méx. [online]. 2022, vol.92, n.3, pp.358-361.  Epub 08-Ago-2022. ISSN 1665-1731.  https://doi.org/10.24875/acm.21000059.

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.
