Acute Right Coronary Artery Occlusion Following Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Flutter

Thu, 01 May 2008 16:22:30 -0400

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.
