We describe a case of permanent right diaphragm paralysis following a radiofrequency cardiac ablation procedure. The relationship between the procedure and the phrenic nerve lesion is discussed with respect to the possible pathogenetic mechanisms. Radiofrequency current used in cardiac electrophysiology may cause serious thoracic nerve injuries. Means to avoid this complication are pointed out.
我们描述了一例射频心脏消融术后永久性右侧膈肌麻痹的病例。就可能的发病机制讨论了该手术与膈神经损伤之间的关系。心脏电生理学中使用的射频电流可能会导致严重的胸神经损伤。指出了避免这种并发症的方法。
