First case report: Late ‐onset coronary artery spasm after radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation in a Caucasian patient
Most of the coronary vasospasms were found intraprocedurally, and it is very rare to see late ‐onset vasospasms that happened a few hours after uncomplicated ablations. The recognition of this rare but potentially life‐threatening complication is important to improve the conventional practice of catheter ablation for patients with drug‐refractory atrial fibrillation.
