Esophageal perforation is a dreaded complication of atrial fibrillation ablation that occurs in
0.1% to 0.25% of atrial fibrillation ablation procedures. Delayed diagnosis is associated with …

The purpose of this review is to understand the epidemiology, clinical features,
etiopathogenesis, and management of atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) after atrial fibrillation …

BACKGROUND: Atrioesophageal fistula is an uncommon but life-threatening complication
of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Esophageal ulcerations (ESUL) have been proposed to be …

Introduction: Atrioesophageal fistula is an uncommon but often lethal complication of atrial
fibrillation (AF) ablation. The purpose of our study was to prospectively investigate the …

Background Currently, little is known about the onset, natural progression, and management
of esophageal injuries after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Objectives We sought to provide a …

Background: Left atrial catheter ablation (LACA) has emerged as a successful method to
eliminate atrial fibrillation (AF). Recent reports have described atrio‐esophageal fistulas …

Background—Left atrioesophageal fistula is a rare but devastating complication that may
occur after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. We used capsule endoscopy to assess …

Aims Oesophageal fistula represents a rare but dreadful complication of atrial fibrillation
catheter ablation. Data on its incidence, management, and outcome are sparse. Methods …

Background Percutaneous or surgical ablation are increasingly used worldwide in the
management of atrial fibrillation. The development of atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) is among …

Management of Atrioesophageal Fistula Post‐AF Ablation Introduction Atrioesophageal
fistula (AEF) is a rare but devastating complication of radiofrequency catheter ablation …
