Rare bilateral nerve surgery saves12-year-old
Vijayawada: A 12-year-old boy with life-threatening VT Storm and Long QT Syndrome underwent a rare specialised procedure at Aayush Hospitals on October 26. Despite medicines, ICD shocks and other interventions, he continued suffering dangerous abnormal rhythms.
Doctors performed bilateral Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)-guided Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation (CSD), disconnecting specific sympathetic nerves on both sides in one sitting to reduce excessive heart stimulation.
There were no complications and the child remained stable.
This advanced option for severe ventricular arrhythmias is rarely performed in India, especially bilaterally in paediatric patients.
