Management of refractory ventricular fibrillation (VF) in patients with implantable implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) presents a therapeutic challenge. We present a case of pediatric refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT)/Torsade de Pointe managed effectively with bilateral stellate ganglion block (SGB) with a long-acting local anesthetic for 18 days as a bridge to more definitive surgical management.
对于植入式心脏复律除颤器(ICD)患者的难治性室颤(VF)管理是一项治疗挑战。我们报告一例小儿难治性室性心动过速(VT)/尖端扭转型室速,通过使用长效局部麻醉药进行双侧星状神经节阻滞(SGB)有效治疗18天,作为过渡到更确切手术治疗的桥梁。
