Efficacy and Safety of 60 W Versus 90 W, 4-s Radiofrequency Applications to the Esophagus-Adjacent Left Atrial Posterior Wall During Pulmonary Vein Isolation: A Pilot Study. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
In this randomized pilot study, 60 W and 90 W QMODE+ RF applications for the periesophageal region achieved comparable acute block and low esophageal injury rates (4.2% each), with similar 1‐year arrhythmia‐free survival, although contact force was higher in the 60 W group.

Gastric Hypomotility Unmasking a Phytobezoar After Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
After cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation, acute gastric hypomotility progressed to phytobezoar formation. The admission CT had already shown a mottled intragastric mass with entrapped gas, initially interpreted as retained food; when post‐ablation symptoms persist, clinicians should re‐examine the original imaging before escalating therapy.

Survival of a Patient with an Esophagopericardial Fistula After Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: A Case Report and Literature Review

, 2020
Esophageal injury leading to esophagopericardial fistula (EPF) or atrioesophageal fistula is a very rare and dreaded complication of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation that carries a high mortality rate.

Clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of atrioesophageal fistula resulting from atrial fibrillation ablation

, 2021
Background: Atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) is a worrisome complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Its clinical manifestations and time course are unpredictable and may contribute to diagnostic and treatment delays.

A case of atrio-esophageal fistula masquerading as upper GI bleed

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2017
We represent a fatal case of atrio esophageal fistula that presented as upper GI bleed. The case was complicated by rapidly progressing multi organ dysfunction syndrome and eventual death. This was an iatrogenic complication of an elective procedure.
