Abstract:
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for arrhythmias, including frequent ventricular premature. As a complication of radiofrequency ablation, pseudoaneurysm can be treated conservatively or by ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. CASE REPORT We report a case that a possible allergic reaction to thrombin injected into pseudoaneurysm after radiofrequency ablation. CONCLUSIONS We hope that the report of successful management of the allergic reaction in this case may be of help to other doctors; we also emphasize the importance of checking the patient's history of allergies to thrombin when considering treating pseudoaneurysm with thrombin injection.
