The patient who developed grade 4 myocarditis presented with a complete heart block and sustained ventricular tachycardia after receiving two doses of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab. His symptoms persisted despite high-dose steroid, amiodarone and flecainide drip treatment, and dual chamber pacer, which finally and immediately resolved after plasma exchange. His left ventricular ejection fraction was maintained at about 50% throughout.
