| Description | Malignant ventricular storm is a life-threatening condition. The increasing use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators has significantly improved the related mortality. On the other hand, the increasing number of implanted devices has led to a growing number of patients with ventricular arrhythmias treated with shocks. Altering the activity of the sympathetic system with ultrasound-guided stellate ganglion blockade may target the crucial initiating as well as sustaining mechanisms of ventricular tachyarrhythmia. |
