Abstract
Left atrial ablation has become common clinical practice for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. We report a case of thrombo-embolic occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery complicating left atrial radiofrequency ablation in a patient with factor V Leyden mutation and a prior episode of pulmonary embolism.
