چکیده
Patients suffering from the long QT syndrome (LQTS) are threatened by sudden arrhythmic cardiac death. This case report describes a new therapeutic approach to ventricular tachyarrhythmias refractory to oral pharmacological treatment (propranolol + phenytoin) using a drug-reservoir-pump system for the pharmacologic blockage of the left stellate ganglion.

Background and aims: Stellate ganglion is a sympathic ganglion in the neck area which by effective blocking a lot of chronic pain syndromes at upper limbs, head, neck and chest can be treated. In this study, results of ultrasound-guided Stellate ganglion block in 44 patients have been reviewed. Methods and material: in this descriptive study, 44 patients candidate for stellate ganglion block...
متن کاملCardiovascular Disease and Its Association With Histological Changes of the Left Stellate Ganglion
Mounting evidence has demonstrated that the autonomic system plays a role in the morbidity and mortality of certain cardiovascular disease states. Ventricular arrhythmias have been associated with the level of sympathetic activation. We attempted to determine if the presence of fibrosis, a marker for previous ischemic events, correlates with an increase in the number of left stellate ganglion n...

Recent evidence has suggested that cardiac factors may play a role in the evolution of arterial hypertension. To test the possibility that an increase in cardiac-performance can lead to a sustained increase in systemic blood pressure, we electrically stimulated the left stellate ganglion of six conscious dogs continuously for a 7-day period and monitored cardiac output and arterial blood pressu...

Nineteen animals exhibiting spontaneous ventriculiH ectopics with in half an hour of occlusion comprised Group I. while the remaining 14 animals unattended by ventricular ectopics were included in Group. II. Ten animals of Group I were subjected to left stellate ganglion blockade (L...
متن کاملPathology-Dependent Histological Changes of the Left Stellate Ganglia: A Cadaveric Study
Sympathetic hyperinnervation due to nerve sprouting generated by the left stellate ganglion has been noted following cardiopulmonary disease processes. Sympathetic hyperinnervation seems to be limited to cardiopulmonary diseases in the experimental and clinical settings. However, histological changes of the left stellate ganglion following cardiopulmonary diseases in humans have vet to be obser...
