Abstract：
Mechanical circulatory support is an established therapy to support failing hearts as a bridge to transplantation. Although tolerated overall, arrhythmias may occur after ventricular assist device implantation and can complicate patient management. We report on an infant with dilated cardiomyopathy who developed ventricular tachycardia followed by recalcitrant ventricular fibrillation, refractory to comprehensive medical therapy post Berlin Heart EXCOR® (BHE) implant.
摘要：
机械循环支持是支持衰竭心脏作为移植桥梁的既定疗法。虽然总体上可以忍受，心室辅助装置植入后可能会发生心律失常，并使患者管理复杂化。我们报道了一名患有扩张型心肌病的婴儿，他发生了室性心动过速，然后是顽固性心室纤颤，柏林心脏EXCOR®（BHE）植入后的综合药物治疗难以治愈。
