Abstract:
Management of ventricular tachycardia storm requires multimodal aggressive therapeutic interventions for a successful outcome. A 39-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy and severe left ventricular dysfunction presented with refractory ventricular tachycardia unresponsive to conventional treatment. He underwent an electrophysiology study and radiofrequency ablation with 3-dimensional mapping with partial control of the ventricular tachycardia. Further left sympathetic ganglion block followed by left cardiac sympathetic denervation also did not totally control the ventricular tachycardia. Right cardiac sympathetic denervation resulting in bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation controlled the ventricular tachycardia.
