When the Dreaded Happens: Atrio-esophageal fistula post Atrial
Fibrillation Catheter Ablation
Abstract
Though rare, atrio-esophageal fistula is the second most common
complication of cardiac catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation; acute
cardiac tamponade being the leading cause [1]. We report a case of a
64-year-old male with AEF after a catheter ablation procedure for AF,
that proved to be fatal.
