Background The initial experience with left atrial esophageal fistula (LAEF) secondary to
atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures revealed a near-universal mortality. A …

Currently, no guidelines have been established for the treatment of atrio-esophageal fistula
(AEF) secondary to left atrial ablation therapy. After comprehensive literature review, we aim …

Background Atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but serious adverse event of atrial
fibrillation (AF) ablation. Objective To identify the clinical characteristics of AEF following …

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 …

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

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

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

Atrioesophageal fistula is a rare yet devastating complication of transcatheter ablation for
atrial fibrillation. This condition requires urgent intervention, but the optimal treatment …

Atrioesophageal fistula is an extremely rare but often fatal late complication of atrial
fibrillation ablation procedures resulting from massive thermal injury to the esophagus and …

Discussion The optimal management of isolated atrial fibrillation remains controversial. It is
clear that catheter-based techniques are becoming more prevalent.
