VVS affects one-third of the population at least once in their lifetime or by the age of 60, reduces the quality of life, and may cause disability affecting certain routines. It poses a considerable economic burden on society, and, despite its prevalence, there is currently no proven pharmacological treatment for preventing VVS. The novel procedure of ganglionated plexus (GP) ablation has emerged rapidly in the past two decades, and has been proven successful in treating syncope. Several parameters influence the success rate of GP ablation, including specific ablation sites, localization and surgical techniques, method of access, and the integration of other interventions. This review aims to provide an overview of the existing literature on the physiological aspects and clinical effectiveness of GP ablation in the treatment of VVS. Specifically, we explore the association between GPs and VVS and examine the impact of GP ablation procedures as reported in human clinical trials. Our objective is to shed light on the therapeutic significance of GP ablation in eliminating VVS and restoring normal sinus rhythm, particularly among young adults affected by this condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms241713264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,28]],"date-time":"2023-08-28T01:56:57Z","timestamp":1693187817000},"page":"13264","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Ganglionated Plexus Ablation Procedures to Treat Vasovagal Syncope"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Merav","family":"Yarkoni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Heart and Vascular Institute, United Health Services, Johnson City, NY 13790, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4520-2373","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wajeeh ur","family":"Rehman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heart and Vascular Institute, United Health Services, Johnson City, NY 13790, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3528-9196","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ata","family":"Bajwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heart and Vascular Institute, United Health Services, Johnson City, NY 13790, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alon","family":"Yarkoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heart and Vascular Institute, United Health Services, Johnson City, NY 13790, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Afzal ur","family":"Rehman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Heart and Vascular Institute, United Health Services, Johnson City, NY 13790, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Task Force for the Diagnosis and Management of Syncope, European Society of Cardiology (ESC), European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), Heart Failure Association (HFA), Heart Rhythm Society (HRS), Moya, A., Sutton, R., Ammirati, F., Blanc, J.-J., and Brignole, M.
