Intra‐Operative Lidocaine Management in the Setting of Ventricular Tachycardia Storm: A Case Report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Effective management of VT storm during catheter ablation involves discontinuation of antiarrhythmic agents to facilitate VT induction for mapping of the critical isthmus. Lidocaine is an ideal agent since arrhythmias remain inducible after its discontinuation. In addition to providing hemodynamic support, dopamine assists by prolonging induced VT for optimal mapping.
