Atrio-Esophageal Fistula After AF Ablation: Pathophysiology, Prevention &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 surrounding structures. Causes of death include cerebral air embolism, massive gastrointestinal bleeding, and septic shock. Because of its exceptionally low rate of occurrence, no predictors of lesion development hav...
متن کاملAsymptomatic recurrence after AF ablation: Is all lost?
As the functionality and usage of permanent pacemakers and cardiac defibrillators continues to grow, these devices also provide an opportunistic means of cardiac arrhythmia detection. Ongoing refinements in device detection algorithms have facilitated the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF) with a high degree of accuracy [1]. Not only is this beneficial in corroborating symptomatic events, bu...
متن کاملIs AF Ablation Cost Effective?
The use of catheter ablation to treat AF is increasing rapidly, but there is presently an incomplete understanding of its cost-effectiveness. AF ablation procedures involve significant up-front expenditures, but multiple randomized trials have demonstrated that ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drugs at maintaining sinus rhythm in a second-line and possibly first-line rhythm contro...
متن کاملAF Termination: the Holy Grail of Persistent AF Ablation?
The optimal catheter ablation approach for longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) remains elusive despite significant advances made in our understanding of this arrhythmia. A recent systematic review highlighted the significant variation in procedural success rate both within and between techniques, necessitating repeat ablation procedures and anti-arrhythmic drugs to achieve improved...
متن کاملEarly Mortality After Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients With Structural Heart Disease.
BACKGROUND In patients referred for radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of ventricular tachycardia (VT) in the setting of structural heart disease, early post-procedural mortality (EM) has not been previously investigated. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate EM after catheter ablation of scar-related VT. METHODS Associations between clinical and procedural variables and...
