Key Clinical Message ST‐T segment depression during right‐sided endovascular catheter ablation is not only caused by obstructive coronary artery disease or (induced) tachycardia. Clinicians should also consider coronary artery spasms evoked by manipulation of nearby catheters, especially in patients with abnormal coronary artery anatomy.
