Acute myocardial infarction following radiofrequency catheter ablation in a child: a case report on the mechanism of coronary artery occlusion assessed by cardiovascular imaging.
Ryota NishioShinichiro DoiHideo FukunagaTomotaka DohiPublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2024)
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of coronary artery occlusion following radiofrequency ablation for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia, evaluated using intravascular ultrasonography and coronary computed tomography angiography. Based on the imaging findings, direct thermal injury was considered the cause of occlusion.
