SHORT COMMUNICATION

Division of Cardiology, University Hospital Basel, Petersgraben 4, 4031 Basel, Switzerland

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.
