Radiofrequency Ablation

Coronary angiography revealing a distal right coronary artery occlusion.Coronary angiography after percutaneous coronary intervention of the distal right coronary artery.
VOLUME: 5 PUBLICATION DATE: Mar 01 2005

Acute coronary occlusion following radiofrequency catheter ablation has previously been reported as a very rare complication in the treatment of accessory pathways.1 We report a case of acute coronary occlusion following a routine atrial flutter ablation. Previously, there has been only one case of acute coronary occlusion following atrial flutter ablation reported in the literature.4 To our knowledge, such a case has never been reported in a patient without known prior coronary disease.
