Official Title: Can Stellar Ganglion Blockage be an Alternative Treatment for Refractory Ventricular Arrhythmias?
Brief Summary:
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) are life-threatening conditions that increase in frequency over the years. An electrical storm (ES) is defined as the occurrence of 3 or more continuous ventricular arrhythmia. The sympathetic nervous system has an important role in VA and is the target of treatment. Studies show that stellate ganglion blockade (SGB) can reduce cardiac sympathetic tone and is an alternative bridge therapy in VAs. In our study, the investigators preferred to apply a…
