Cerebral Air Emboli With Atrial-Esophageal Fistula Following Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Abstract

This is the most delayed presentation of AEF following atrial fibrillation ablation reported in the literature to date. We emphasize the need for awareness of this complication even after such an unexpected time-frame postprocedure as well as the unintended complications of cerebral air emboli following upper endoscopy.
