Myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation due to iatrogenic right coronary artery occlusion following tricuspid valve annuloplasty: a case report.
Shi Sum PoonJoseph GeorgeDaniel ObaidPankaj KumarPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2020)
Right coronary artery occlusion should be considered as a differential diagnosis for significant rhythm disturbances and haemodynamic instability in the peri- and post-operative period following tricuspid valve annuloplasty. A low threshold for diagnostic angiography is needed to avoid potential delay in life-saving revascularization.
