ABSTRACT
Ventricular fibrillation associated with coronary vasospasm developed 8 h after successful radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the right accessory pathway in an 81-year-old male. A segment of the coronary vasospasm was located close to the accessory pathway, where seven RF ablations had been applied. Although rare, physicians should carefully consider the risk of such events when an RF current is applied near a coronary artery.
