Acute circumflex artery total occlusion during ablation of septal premature ventricular contraction with radiofrequency energy

The 28-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with symptomatic, frequent, drug-refractory (β-blocker/propafenone) premature ventricular contraction (PVC) (Figure 1 A). Both echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance showed normal values of cardiac chamber size and function, without...
