Continuous Thoracic Paravertebral Block to Treat Electrical Storm.

Daryl I Smith1, Sarah A Kralovic1, Rafeek A Hegazy1, Hai Tran2.   

Abstract

Continuous ganglion block is increasingly being used to help manage ventricular tachyarrhythmias. We present the cases of 2 patients in whom we used continuous left thoracic paravertebral block to achieve sympathetic denervation and improvement in drug-refractory ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Whether as destination therapy or bridging therapy, we conclude that the block is safe, improves patients' comfort, and is superior in several ways to stellate ganglion block and other single-injection techniques.
