Abstract:Background: Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation (CSD) involves surgical removal of lower half of the stellate ganglion and the T1-T4 ganglia for reducing sympathetic discharge to the heart. CSD is a useful therapeutic option in patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) when they are non-responsive to standard drug therapy or catheter ablation. We report here the clinical profile and long-term outcome of all our patients who underwent CSD for refractory VT or VT storm. Method: Data of all patients who underwent CS… Show more
“…In this issue of JCE, Barwad et al 2 investigated the long‐term outcomes of 65 patients who underwent CSD due to refractory ventricular arrhythmias from 2010 to 2019. Most patients were men (77%), and the mean age was 50 ± 18 years old.…”
