Incessant Ventricular Tachycardia is a condition characterized by multiple episodes of Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) in 24 hours, persisting despite efforts to stop the arrhythmia. In this condition, sympathectomy as the surgical procedure is considered a permanent intervention and the last resort when medications prove ineffective. This procedure comprises the cutting or clamping of sympathetic nerves to prevent the transmission of nerve signals. Therefore, this study aims to present a case report of post-sympathectomy nursing management in a patient with Incessant Ventricular Tachycardia.
