Cite This Study

Smith et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Intractable ventricular tachycardia in a patient with a left ventricular assist device (n=1). Continuous left stellate ganglion blockade followed by surgical gangliolysis was evaluated on Successful management of intractable ventricular tachycardia. Continuous left stellate ganglion blockade followed by surgical gangliolysis successfully managed intractable ventricular tachycardia in a patient with a left ventricular assist device.
