Neurocardiogenic syncope, also called vasovagal syncope, represents one of the clinical manifestations of neurally mediated syncopal syndrome. Generally, the prognosis of the cardioinhibitory form of neurocardiogenic syncope is good, but quality of life is seriously compromised in patients who experience severe forms. Drug therapy has not achieved good clinical results and very heterogeneous data come from studies regarding permanent cardiac pacing. In this scenario, the ganglionated plexi ablation has been proposed as an effective and safe method in patients with cardioinhibitory neurocardiogenic syncope, especially in young patients in order to avoid or prolong, as much as possible, the timing of definitive cardiac pacing...
