Abstract

Coronary artery spasm during catheter ablation for arrhythmias is a rare but previously reported complication. Timing of presentation, manifestations of vasospasm, and purported mechanisms vary somewhat in the prior literature. We present a case of chest pain, inferior lead ST elevation, and complete AV block with angiographically confirmed right coronary artery (RCA) vasospasm that occurred immediately after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
