Right ventricular infarction complicating right coronary angioplasty.
We report a patient who developed anterior ST segment elevation following angioplasty of the right coronary artery in which a right ventricular branch became occluded. Several similar reports were found in the literature as well as a putative mechanism for the electrocardiographic changes. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 47:327-330, 1999.
