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

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 …

Aims Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a promising alternative to thermal ablation
for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). We report performance and safety using the …
