Abstract

Microvascular obstruction is a transient phenomenon of "no reflow" after myocardial infarction or radiofrequency ablation, diagnosed using late gadolinium enhancement cardiac MRI. We present a patient with a persistent microvascular obstruction-like lesion following radiofrequency ventricular tachycardia ablation post-myocardial infarction, which was best characterized by a novel dark-blood late gadolinium enhancement technique.
