Key result
Radiofrequency ablation of a right posteroseptal accessory pathway in a 24-year-old male was complicated by acute left circumflex artery occlusion, successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Radiofrequency ablation of accessory pathways near the coronary sinus can rarely cause acute coronary occlusion, requiring vigilant ECG monitoring and emergent percutaneous coronary intervention.

Prompts immediate angiography for ST changes during CS ablations; leaves open optimal prevention strategies.
Abdul-Hafez et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome (n=1). Radiofrequency ablation was evaluated on Left circumflex artery occlusion. Radiofrequency ablation of a right posteroseptal accessory pathway in a 24-year-old male was complicated by acute left circumflex artery occlusion, successfully treated with percutaneous coronary intervention.
