Abstract

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.
