Aberrant coronary artery spasms cause ST-T segment depression during endovascular ablation of atrial flutter

Clin Case Rep. 2017 Jun 21;5(8):1252-1254. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.1023. eCollection 2017 Aug.

Abstract

ST-T segment depression during right-sided endovascular catheter ablation is not only caused by obstructive coronary artery disease or (induced) tachycardia. Clinicians should also consider coronary artery spasms evoked by manipulation of nearby catheters, especially in patients with abnormal coronary artery anatomy.

Keywords: Aberrant coronary artery; cavotricuspid isthmus ablation; coronary anomaly; coronary artery spasm.
