Thoracic Epidural Anesthesia Can Be Effective for the Short‐Term Management of Ventricular Tachycardia Storm [PDF]
Background Novel therapies aimed at modulating the autonomic nervous system, including thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA), have been shown in small case series to be beneficial in treating medically refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm. However,
