dc.description.abstractDrug-resistant incessant ventricular tachycardia (DRIVT) after cardiac surgery is a rare but almost always fatal event. Antiarrhythmic therapy seems to be ineffective and electrical cardioversion is of limited value when these patients present themselves with recurrent, sustained ventricular tachycardia. A patient with DRIVT in whom external cardiopulmonary support finally succeeded in bringing about resuscitation will be described in this article. The use of external cardiopulmonary support (CPS) should be considered in patients with this kind of malignant arrhythmia.
