Abstract
|
|
|
|
Steam pops occur when tissue temperature exceeds 100°C. This can lead to tissue disruption and sometimes subsequent cardiac tamponade, especially in thin-walled structures such as the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). This event is potentially disastrous; however, in our case, ventricular tachycardia originating from the RVOT was successfully terminated by a steam pop, although it required pericardiocentesis and drainage.
