Negative pressure pulmonary edema complicating an electrophysiological study.
We report on a case of acute non-cardiogenic negative-pressure pulmonary edema developed during an ablation procedure of an accessory pathway in a patient with no structural heart disease. That potentially serious complication has not been previously reported during an interventional cardiology procedure.
