Right coronary artery lesion is an uncommon and serious complication of typical atrial flutter ablation. We report a case of right coronary artery occlusion during atrial flutter ablation managed with percutaneous coronary intervention, combined with a review of the literature, in order to obtain pathogenetic and epidemiological information about this complication.
