Abstract
Atrial-esophageal fistula is a rare but often fatal complication of catheter radiofrequency ablation. Patients occasionally have bacteremia and have been misdiagnosed with endocarditis. Infectious diseases specialists are often consulted and need to be aware of this complication. We report a case of atrial-esophageal fistula after radiofrequency ablation that illustrates the salient features of this illness.
摘要
心房-食管瘘是导管射频消融的一种罕见但通常致命的并发症。患者偶尔会出现菌血症，并被误诊为心内膜炎。传染病专家经常会被咨询到，因此需要了解这种并发症。我们报告了一例射频消融后发生的心房-食管瘘，该病例说明了这种疾病的显著特征。
