Atrioesophageal Fistula: A Rare Complication of Radiofrequency Ablation.
75-year-old woman was admitted with fever, chills, altered mentation, and right-sided weakness. A month earlier, she had undergone catheter radiofrequency ablation for treatment of chronic atrial fibrillation. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of her brain revealed septic emboli with multiple bilateral cerebral and cerebellar infarcts, as well as extensive bilateral leptomeningeal enhancement. ...
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 کاملSimplified method for esophagus protection during radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation - prospective study of 704 cases
INTRODUCTION Although rare, the atrioesophageal fistula is one of the most feared complications in radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation due to the high risk of mortality. OBJECTIVE This is a prospective controlled study, performed during regular radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, to test whether esophageal displacement by handling the transesophageal e...

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...
