Progression From Esophageal Thermal Asymptomatic Lesion to Perforation Complicating Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Single-Center Registry.
BACKGROUND Up to 40% of patients demonstrate endoscopically detected asymptomatic esophageal lesions (EDEL) after atrial fibrillation ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients undergoing first atrial fibrillation ablation and postinterventional esophageal endoscopy were included in the study. Occurrence of esophageal perforating complications during follow-up was related to documented EDEL (cate...
متن کاملProgression From Esophageal Thermal Asymptomatic Lesion to Perforation Complicating Atrial Fibrillation Ablation
Major complications related to ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) occur in ≤4.5% of patients. A large multicenter survey reports a procedure-related complication rate of 7.8%. One of the most fatal complications is atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) reported in ≤0.2% of AF ablation cases. A study comparing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using radiofrequency and cryoballoon ablation reported an ove...
متن کاملPericardial-esophageal fistula complicating cryoballoon ablation for refractory atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation affects an estimated 2.7–6.1 million people in the United States and accounts for more than 750,000 hospitalizations per year. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been well established as the most effective ablation treatment available for patients with symptomatic and medication-refractory atrial fibrillation. Previously, radiofrequency (RF) ablation was the mainstay for PVI...
متن کاملPericardial-esophageal Fistula Complicating Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Successfully Resolved after Pericardial Drainage with Conservative Management
A 40-year-old male patient underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation for symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Although pulmonary vein (PV) isolation was successfully completed without acute complications, the patient began complaining of sustained retrosternal pain. Seventeen days after ablation, the patient visited the emergency room with fever and severe chest pain with pericardi...
