ABSTRACT

Perforation of cardiovascular structures by catheter- based techniques is a rare complication. In fact, lower rates than 1.4% has been reported, with a mortality rate of up to 77%, being resolved with a better result by open approach with cardiopulmonary bypass support. We present a 37-year-old male diagnosed with Wolf-Parkinson- White syndrome in whom left lateral accessory pathway ablation was performed. However, during the procedure, complications such as perforations of the right atrial roof and the right sinus of Valsalva were observed. Both of them were successfully repaired by open heart surgery.
