Mechanical circulatory support as bridge to recovery in an 8-year-old girl with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy due to atypical atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia: a case report
This case report describes technical considerations of both the special electrophysiological aspects of this rare tachycardia and the weaning protocol from a pulsatile ventricular assist device in a young child who finally recovered from TIC. Pharmacological heart rate control delayed curative RFA until explantation of the MCS.
