Abstract
We present a novel multidisciplinary approach for the treatment of electrical storm combining bilateral cardiac sympathectomy, extrapericardial coil insertion, and implantable cardioverter defibrillator upgrade in a patient with nonischemic cardiomyopathy and ventricular arrhythmias refractory to conventional therapies. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
