Acute coronary artery occlusion and ischemia ‐related ventricular tachycardia during catheter ablation in the right ventricular outflow tract

AbstractCoronary artery injury is a rare complication of catheter ablation in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Furthermore, acute myocardial ischemia usually causes polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation. We herein describe a case in which catheter ablation for VT originating from the RVOT provoked ischemia ‐related VTs due to acute occlusion of the left anterior descending artery.
