To date, there is 1 case report publication of AE fistula during the employment of the first-generation cryoballoon (Gen-1). Recently the Arctic Front Advance system (second-generation cryoballoon) was introduced into the US and EU markets. For the purpose of peer education, we report a case of AE fistula that occurred during the utilization of the second-generation cryoballoon (Gen-2). Additionally, we review current best practices that may reduce the risk of AE fistula during any AF ablation procedure.
迄今为止,有1篇关于第一代冷冻球囊(Gen-1)使用期间发生消融后食管瘘(AE瘘)的病例报告发表。最近,北极锋进阶系统(第二代冷冻球囊)已进入美国和欧盟市场。为便于同行交流,我们报告1例在使用第二代冷冻球囊(Gen-2)期间发生AE瘘的病例。此外,我们还回顾了在任何房颤消融手术中可能降低AE瘘风险的当前最佳实践。
