1 Successful interventional management of catastrophic coronary arterial air embolism during atrial fibrillation ablation  Khurram Ahmad, MD, Samuel Asirvatham, MD, Sreenivas Kamath, MD, Stephen Peck, MD, Xiaoke Liu, MD, PhD  HeartRhythm Case Reports  Volume 2, Issue 2, Pages (March 2016) DOI: /j.hrcr Copyright © 2016 Heart Rhythm Society Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 Right coronary artery (RCA) angiography in the left anterior oblique view. Extensive air bubbles were shown to fill the entire RCA. An intracardiac ultrasound catheter and temporary pacing catheter are also shown in the figure. The transseptal apparatus has already been removed. The left coronary artery was not involved (not shown). HeartRhythm Case Reports 2016 2, DOI: ( /j.hrcr ) Copyright © 2016 Heart Rhythm Society Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Follow up angiogram after successful intervention. TIMI 3 flow has been restored immediately after air aspiration using a thrombus aspiration catheter. No residual air bubbles were observed. HeartRhythm Case Reports 2016 2, DOI: ( /j.hrcr ) Copyright © 2016 Heart Rhythm Society Terms and Conditions
