Abstract: Abstract OBJECTIVES Thoracic sympathectomy has been shown to be effective in reducing implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks and ventricular tachycardia recurrence in patients with channelopathies, but the evidence supporting its use for refractory ventricular arrhythmias in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000017272
Abstract: Abstract Background: Palmar hyperhidrosis (PH) is a common sympathetic disorder that reduces patient’ quality of life. Video-assisted thoracoscopic sympathectomy (VTS) is a popular and effective treatment for PH. However, there is substantial controversy about the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jocs.14639
Abstract: Recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) can occur after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. In this case, medical treatment might be insufficient. We report a case of a left‐sided thoracoscopic sympathectomy as a feasible treatment escalation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jocs.15652
Abstract: Cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) is an effective procedure for the treatment of inherited channelopathies. Left CSD has traditionally been recommended as neuromodulation to prevent arrhythmia episodes; however, it is thought that bilateral sympathectomy in combination… read more here.
