Coronary artery dissection following radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation: Case report and review of the literature

Coronary artery injury following catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias is very rare. We present a case of left circumflex (LCx) coronary artery dissection causing inferoposterior ST‐elevation myocardial infarction following radiofrequency (RF) ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) in a 39‐year‐o...

description Coronary artery injury following catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias is very rare. We present a case of left circumflex (LCx) coronary artery dissection causing inferoposterior ST‐elevation myocardial infarction following radiofrequency (RF) ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) in a 39‐year‐old male with no cardiovascular risk factors. This was confirmed on coronary angiography and intracoronary vascular ultrasound (IVUS). The likely etiology is thermal injury during RF ablation for AF, due to the close proximity of the left atrial appendage and left pulmonary veins to the LCx. He was successfully treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention with good outcome. This is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of proven acute coronary dissection secondary to RF ablation for AF reported in the literature, and highlights the importance of considering this as a mechanism for coronary occlusion in these patients.
