Introduction: Incessant Ventricular Tachycardia is a condition characterized by multiple episodes of Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) in 24 hours, persisting despite efforts to stop the arrhythmia. In this condition, sympathectomy as the surgical procedure is considered a permanent intervention and the last resort when medications prove ineffective. This procedure comprises the cutting or clamping of sympathetic nerves to prevent the transmission of nerve signals.

Catheter ablation (CA) is an important therapeutic modality for the management of ventricular tachycardia (VT). In some patients, CA may be ineffective because of the inability to reach the effective target site from the endocardial surface. Partly, this is due to the effect of the transmural extent of the myocardial scars.

Incessant narrow QRS complex tachycardias may result in severe tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy even if the heart rate during tachycardia is only moderately elevated. The risk of ventricular deterioration is particularly increased in patients with underlying congenital heart disease. In these patients, drug treatment is often insufficient.
