Successful pediatric stenting of a nonthrombotic coronary occlusion as a complication of radiofrequency catheter ablation.
This is a case of a right coronary artery occlusion complicating a RF catheter ablation of a posteroseptal accessory connection in an 8-year-old boy. After multiple balloon angioplasty attempts in the occluded vessel, only transient patency was achieved. The occlusion was successfully treated with placement of an intracoronary stent.
