Continuous left stellate ganglion block during VT ablation to slow VT and improve ablation outcome
Anno:
2024
Introduction: Perioperative management of advanced patients with indication to ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation is complex. A PAINESD score ≥ 15 was proposed to identify those who might benefit from pre-emptive mechanical cardiopulmonary support (MCS). We present a case successfully managed with continuous percutaneous left stellate ganglion block (C-PLSGB). Case:…
Ventricular arrhythmias in a unexpected cardiac magnetic resonance
Anno:
2024
Background: Electrical storm in a widespread inflammation of the myocardium represent a very challenge condition and recognizes a broad spectrum of etiology. Case presentation: A 59-year-old man, without significant prior medical history, came to our attention because, following an emergent hernioplasty procedure, he displayed anterior ST-segment elevation and elevated…
LIMITATIONS IN THE USE OF SUBCUTANEOUS DEFIBRILLATOR IN PATIENTS WITH LOW BODY MASS INDEX
Anno:
2024
INTRODUCTION. Subcutaneous defibrillator is an effective and widely used tool in clinical practice but the presence of large fluctuations in the body mass index and the reduction of subcutaneous tissue may limit its application to all patients. CASE REPORT. In 2014, a 51-year-old woman underwent implantation of a dual-chamber…
TRANSIENT VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS DURING EXERCISE TEST TRIGGERED BY IRON DEFICIENCY ANAEMIA
Anno:
2024
Introduction: The onset of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) during an exercise test (ET) is a common finding in asymptomatic middle-aged individuals. However, their clinical significance is uncertain, especially in absence of myocardial ischaemia or structural heart disease (SHD). VAs from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) are the most common…
Real world usage of ranolazine for antiarrhythmic purposes: single center experience
Anno:
2024
Introduction: Ranolazine is a late sodium current blocking drug developed as an antianginal agent, with good preliminary efficacy data even for antiarrhythmic purposes (both at atrial and at ventricular level). Objectives: To evaluate patients’ clinical characteristics and antiarrhythmic efficacy of ranolazine in subjects with a history of atrial and/or…
Percutaneous left stellate ganglion block to increase ventricular fibrillation threshold and defibrillation success rate in acute fulminant myocarditis with electrical storm
Anno:
2024
Introduction: Acute fulminant myocarditis represents a predisposing substrate for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Percutaneous left stellate ganglion block (PLSGB) usage has been reported for the prevention of recurrent VAs, but clinical data on its acute effect on ongoing ventricular fibrillation (VF) are missing. Case: A 57-years-old man suffering gastroenteritis…
Efficacy of percutaneous stellate ganglion block according to ventricular arrhythmia cycle: a sub-analysis of the STAR study
Anno:
2024
Introduction: the percutaneous stellate ganglion block (PSGB) is an effective treatment for electrical storm. The STAR study (184 PSGBs performed on 131 patients in 19 Italian centers) demonstrated a significant reduction in delivered electrical therapy (ATP/shock) in patients with electrical storm comparing both the 12 hours before and after…
