Ventricular fibrillation storm after revascularization of chronic total occlusion of the left anterior descending artery: is this reperfusion arrhythmia?

Electrical storm is a life-threatening emergency condition defined as three or more episodes of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VF) within 24 hours requiring anti-tachycardia therapy, electrical cardioversion, or defibrillation. However, studies of the incidence of electrical st...

description Electrical storm is a life-threatening emergency condition defined as three or more episodes of ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VF) within 24 hours requiring anti-tachycardia therapy, electrical cardioversion, or defibrillation. However, studies of the incidence of electrical storm after chronic total occlusion-percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO-PCI) are limited,(7) and post-procedural VF after revascularization of CTO has not been described. The purpose of this article was to present a case of post-operative VF electrical storm after revascularization of CTO of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery to determine whether the electrical storm was caused by reperfusion arrhythmia or compromise of either branch vessels or the collateral circulation during intervention.
