We report the case of a 57-year-old man with a history of ischemic cardiomyopathy who presented to the hospital with recurrent episodes of ventricular tachycardia refractory to antiarrhythmic medications. Mapping identified a deep premature ventricular contraction focus in the anterolateral papillary muscle, an area that has been previously identified as difficult to treat with radiofrequency catheter ablation. The hospital course was complicated by cardiogenic shock and VT-storm, and the patient ultimately underwent surgical resection of the anterolateral papillary muscle with left ventricular assist device placement as a successful bridge to cardiac transplantation.
