A 60-year-old female with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) originating from the bottom of the posteromedial papillary muscle of the left ventricle underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) using an irrigated-tip catheter. During ablation of the PVCs, a loud steam pop was observed. Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) revealed a growing, hyperechogenic intramyocardial microbubble formation around the catheter tip. The formation disappeared slowly and completely, leaving an endocardial laceration without pericardial effusion. ICE imaging is valuable during a difficult RFCA procedure, because ICE reveals the exact anatomical position of the catheter and thus allows rapid evaluation of the occurrence of steam popping and any possible subsequent complication.
