Abstract

We report a case of a 60-year-old man with recurrent poly- and monomorphic ventricular tachycardia related to a recent myocardial infarction. Due to drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia despite complete revascularization, he underwent catheter ablation. Afterwards, he was fitted with a wearable cardioverter defibrillator. Three months later, no ventricular tachycardia had been recorded and an electrophysiologic study failed to induce an episode. Thus, wearable cardioverter defibrillators are useful bridging devices pending a final decision to implant a cardioverter defibrillator.

Keywords: Catheter ablation; Post-myocardial infarction; Ventricular tachycardia; Wearable cardioverter defibrillator
