Abstract
In this study, we are presenting a patient with a combined heart issue - history of post-infectious cardiomyopathy and a myocardial infarction. HeartWare was implanted in this patient due to the advanced chronic heart failure. Afterwards, he had been suffering from recurrent episodes of ventricular tachycardia (VT), leading to right-sided heart failure even in the presence of functioning left ventricular assist device (LVAD). As a solution, catheter ablation was selected to achieve a decent hemodynamic stability and to bridge the patient to heart transplantation.
