Abstract
Though rare, atrio-esophageal fistula is the second most common complication of cardiac catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation; acute cardiac tamponade being the leading cause [1]. We report a case of a 64-year-old male with AEF after a catheter ablation procedure for AF, that proved to be fatal.
