Does extracorporeal membrane oxygenation provide safe hemodynamic support for patients undergoing ablation of unstable ventricular tachycardias?
ECMO can safely provide hemodynamic support during ablation of unstable ventricular tachycardia, facilitating rhythm stabilization and serving as a bridge to advanced heart failure therapies.
Ablation of unstable VTs can be safely supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, which allows rhythm stabilization with low procedure mortality, bridging decompensated patients to permanent LVAD or heart transplantation. Successful ablation is associated with better outcomes than unsuccessful ablation.
