Introduction
Acute procedural complications and managements of pulmonary vein
isolation with cryoballoon ablation (CBA) for patients with atrial
fibrillation (AF) has been exhibited in the past.1 Air
embolism is one of these complications and is seen
unfrequently. It may cause lethal complications due to
inadequate collateral supply. Major adverse events are changing
localization of emboli and volume of air bubble.2Coronary artery air embolism has been reported previously during AF
cryoballoon ablation.3 Here, we present a first case
with pulmonary air embolism during CBA of AF and its extraordinary
management in literature.
