Regional pericarditis following uncomplicated catheter ablation procedure: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute post-ablation pericarditis is the most common complication of epicardial ablation of ventricular arrhythmias, while regional pericarditis following an initially uneventful endocardial catheter ablation (CA) procedure is a rare and elusive diagnosis.

Case summary

We report a case of a 66-year-old Russian female who developed chest pain accompanied by electrocardiogram (ECG) changes-biphasic T waves in V1-V4 leads after an initially uncomplicated premature ventricular complex CA procedure. After examination and investigations, including transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and cardiac computed tomography (CCT), she was diagnosed with regional pericarditis, which occurred even though the ablation was uneventful with the
