Abstract

Cardiac electrophysiology study (EPS) and catheter ablation procedure are established diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for cardiac arrhythmias. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a relatively rare but potentially fatal complication of Cardiac electrophysiology study (EPS). The paradoxical embolism (PDE) occurs due to an intracardiac defect with a right to left shunt with patent foramen ovale (PFO) being the most common cause. The simultaneous occurrence of PE and PDE is rare. Here we present a case of PE and PDE after EPS and radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the slow pathway in a patient with recurrent supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) due to atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT). To our knowledge, such a case of PE and PDE has not been reported after SVT ablation.
