Combined effect of left stellate ganglion blockade and topical administration of papaverine on left internal thoracic artery blood flow in patients undergoing coronary revascularization.

Conclusion: Combining LSGB with papaverine does not increase the LITA blood flow compared to when the papaverine is used alone. However, ganglion blockade reduces radial-femoral arterial pressure difference after CPB. Blockade can be achieved successfully under the ultrasound guidance without any complications.
