Highlights a rare but severe late complication of chronic LMCA occlusion following radiofrequency ablation for idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia.
We describe in this report the development of chronic left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion in a young patient 2 years after an uncomplicated, successful ablation of idiopathic left ventricular tachycardia. This complication appears to be a late consequence of trauma to the LMCA during the procedure rather than an acute or subacute embolic event.
Pons et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
