0.1% to 0.25% of atrial fibrillation ablation procedures. Delayed diagnosis is associated with …

Background Although a rare complication of catheter based ablation for atrial fibrillation
(AF), atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) is a serious and fatal event [[1],[2],[3],[4],[5]]. Most reports …

Atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but deadly complication of radiofrequency ablation for
atrial fibrillation. Given its rarity, the diagnosis of AEF is usually delayed with a wide variation …
