STROBEL, G.G., et al. : Successful Pediatric Stenting of a Nonthrombotic Coronary Occlusion as a Complication of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation. This is a case of a right coronary artery occlusion complicating a RF catheter ablation of a posteroseptal accessory connection in an 8‐year‐old boy. After multiple balloon angioplasty attempts in the occluded vessel, only transient patency was achieved. The occlusion was successfully treated with placement of an intracoronary stent.
