Ventricular tachycardia can occur early after CTO-PCI as possible reperfusion arrhythmia and poorer left ventricular ejection fraction is the only independent predictor for onset. Although the occurrence of ventricular tachycardia after CTO-PCI seems not to influence mortality, awareness of this possible complication and longer monitoring may be recommended.
