Risk of atrioesophageal fistula with cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation

Risk of atrioesophageal fistula with cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation

Background: Although there are considerable data on the safety of cryoablation, data on the rare but severe complication of atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) following cryoballoon ablation are limited. Objective: To report the global, user-reported incidence of AEF associated with cryoballoon ablation f...
