Right ventricular infarction following percutaneous coronary rotational atherectomy.
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.
