Abstract
|
|
|
|
We report the rare case of a 70-year-old man with a large intramural hematoma associated with radiofrequency catheter ablation for left side atrial tachyarrhythmias. The size of the hematoma increased, and it compromised mitral inflow within a day. Emergent open cardiac surgery was performed for hematoma evacuation and Cox-Maze procedure. He had no immediate postoperative complications and was free of tachyarrhythmia over a 1-year follow-up.
