True or False: Having a discussion with the HF team about exit strategy if prolonged hemodynamic support required helps with decisions regarding weaning of MCS.
*
True
False
What is a reason your IC should be consulted prior to VTA procedure?
*
To train EP staff on Cath lab procedures
Discuss VT ablation strategy
IC performs large bore arterial access, helps with implant and removal of MCS device
None of the above
Which of the below are considered best practices for safe femoral arterial access?
*
Ultrasound
Fluoroscopy guided
Micro-puncture
Baseline abdominal aortogram
All of the above
What is the role of a PA catheter in a VT ablation?
*
To help assess hemodynamics and make objective decisions regarding weaning
PA catheter is placed at the beginning of the case and left in place as long as MCS is in place and sometimes longer
Used to obtain baseline PCWP, Cardiac Output and Cardiac Power Output (CPO)
All of the above
What is the acronym for the scoring system used to determine high risk patients for Acute Hemodynamic Decompensation during VT ablation?
*
PAINFUL
PAINESD
STS
