# LAD Occlusion From Alcohol Reflux During Alcohol Septal Ablation

## TL;DR

This paper reports a rare complication during a heart procedure where alcohol reflux temporarily blocked a major artery.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in documenting alcohol reflux leading to left anterior descending artery occlusion during alcohol septal ablation.

## Key findings

- Alcohol reflux occurred during the procedure, causing transient occlusion of the left anterior descending artery.
- The case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing this rare but serious complication.

## Abstract

We present a case of alcohol septal ablation complicated by alcohol reflux with transient occlusion of the left anterior descending artery. This report discusses the main steps to the procedure and its complications, including the differential diagnosis and management.
