Overview

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Sympathectomy is usually reserved for patients who experience recurrent symptoms and/or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks despite optimal medical therapy or in those who are intolerant or have contraindications to beta blockers

Surgery

Sympathectomy

Left cardiac sympathetic denervation, where a portion of the sympathetic chain is surgically or endoscopically resected, and bilateral thoracoscopic sympathectomy have reported to be useful therapeutic methods for suppressing ventricular arrhythmias in CPVT patients.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]
Indications:^[1]^[5]^[6]
- Patients who experience recurrent symptoms and/or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) shocks despite optimal medical therapy
- Patients who are intolerant or have contraindications to beta blockers
Limitations:
- Complexity of the surgical procedure
- Requirement of a specialised surgical centre
- Complications, such as:^[7]
  - Horner's syndrome
  - Pneumothorax
In spite of the side-effects and complications, the procedure was safe and satisfactory among the vast majority of patients.

Catheter ablation

The onset of CPVT may be initiated from purkinje cells and successful catheter ablation has been reported.^[8]
Catheter ablation of the bidirectional VPCs that trigger VF has been reported and this procedure could become an adjunctive therapy in patients with refractory CPVT.^[9]
Further evidence and experiences are required for its recommendation.
