Ventricular electrical storms (VES) caused by ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) are life-threatening. Because increased sympathetic activity is common cause, cardiac autonomic modulation can offer potential VT/VF prevention and treatment. We herein present two cases of a successful control of cardiac rhythm after stellate ganglion block (SGB) to inhibit cardiac sympathetic activity in patients with intractable ventricular arrhythmias. A 41-year-old male patient with coronary stents presented with chest pain. After admission VT was developed. Despite receiving medical treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs, implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks, and radiofrequency catheter ablation, VT was not effectively controlled. Ultrasound-guided SGB was performed on the left side. After the procedure, the patient's cardiac rhythm was stabilized. Another 60-year-old male patient with heart failure (EF 21%) presented with dyspnea. After hospitalization, he experienced refractory ventricular arrhythmias even after left ventricular assist device implantation. Following ultrasound-guided SGB unilaterally at 2-day intervals, his frequent VT was resolved. In conclusion, SGB in patients with VES can be an effective treatment for patients with refractory ventricular arrhythmias.
