Abstract

Clinically insignificant premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are a relatively common arrhythmia that can also be observed in healthy individuals. However, when the frequency of PVCs increases, it may lead to certain clinical symptoms and cardiac abnormalities. While radiofrequency catheter ablation is a highly effective treatment method, its invasive nature can give rise to some undesired complications. This report discusses a rare complication that can occur during PVC ablation and its management.
