| الوصف: | Arrhythmic storm is an emergency characterized by cardiac electrical instability leading to multiple episodes of sustained ventricular arrhythmias in a short period of time. Patients have multiple comorbidities that require multidisciplinary interventions to achieve clinical stability. The genesis of arrhythmic storm involves a complex interaction between a predisposing arrhythmogenic substrate, triggering factors, autonomic nervous system, and patient comorbidities. Antiarrhythmic drug therapy plays a key role and has been shown to be associated with a significant reduction in VT recurrence. Transcatheter ablation in patients refractory to drug therapy has been shown to reduce arrhythmic recurrences, ICD shocks, and improve patients‘ cumulative survival over time. Rare cases of arrhythmic storm refractoriness treated by plastic ventricle for the purpose of excluding scar are reported in the literature. We present the case of a 62–year–old man, Caucasian race, suffering from chronic ischemic heart disease with hypokinetic–dilated evolution carrying CRT–D, diabetic, obese, dyslipidemic, undergoing multiple percutaneous revascularizations. Sent to our hospital from a peripheral hospital for arrhythmic storm refractory to maximal antiarrhythmic therapy treated with multiple internal and external DC shocks. During hospitalization, the patient underwent SEF and attempted ATC which was ineffective in the following days due to recurrence of numerous episodes of TVS. In view of the clinical picture and refractoriness to therapy, it was decided to perform coronary examination which found subocclusion of the 1st diagonal branch treated by implantation of medicated stent. On ventriculography, the presence of severe pseudoaneurysmal formation supplied at the level of the anterior wall of the left ventricle was confirmed. It was decided to transfer the patient to cardiac surgery to perform ventriculoplasty surgery. In the following days, the patient underwent surgery through exclusion of the aneurysm by patching in pericardium in CEC. Procedure was free of complications. On follow–up echocardiogram dilated left ventricle with severe left ventricular dysfunction with findings of cardiac aneurysm exclusion. In the following days, the patient presented no further arrhythmic episodes. |
