Straight back syndrome (SBS) is a thoracic deformity with absence of upper thoracic spine kyphosis and heart compression. The anatomic abnormity of SBS may raise the difficulty of introcardial operation and increase the complicated risk of intervention performance. Here we report a case of SBS with complicated transseptal puncture during intervention catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
