Percutaneous coronary rotational atherectomy of the right coronary artery can be complicated by right ventricular infarction due to occlusion of marginal branches.
May complicate RCA atherectomy with RV infarction via marginal branch occlusion; single case leaves open incidence and prevention.
We describe a case of right ventricular infarction complicating percutaneous coronary rotational atherectomy of sequential calcified right coronary artery lesions. Right ventricular infarction resulted from occlusion of two right ventricular marginal branches during successful atherectomy of the right coronary artery.
