Pharmacological therapy was titrated up to the highest tolerated dose (amiodarone, metoprolol, and lidocaine), with ES relapse after 1 week. Percutaneous SGB was effectively performed. Because of neck infection, the infusion catheter was removed and, in order to control arrhythmia relapse before surgical gangliectomy, hypnotic communication, mimicking SGB, was performed. No significant ventricular arrhythmia relapses were recorded for 3\u2005days, when surgical gangliectomy was performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Hypnotic communication succeeded in reproducing the anti-arrhythmic effects of a percutaneous SGB.
