Pericardial-esophageal fistula and/or atrial-esophageal fistula after cardiac ablation is nearly universally fatal if not detected and treated expeditiously. This condition should be assumed and ruled out in anyone with a recent history of cardiac ablation presenting with signs of sepsis, pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium, or chest pain. Computed tomography scan of the chest is a rapid and a sensitive diagnostic modality. Tenets of treatment and repair consist of preventing an air embolism, repairing the esophageal perforation and atrial defect, and interposing autologous tissue between the esophagus and heart.
心脏消融术后发生的心包-食管瘘和/或心房-食管瘘若未被及时发现和治疗,几乎无一例外会导致死亡。对于近期有心脏消融病史且出现败血症、纵隔气肿、心包积气或胸痛症状的患者,均应考虑并排除这种情况。胸部计算机断层扫描是一种快速且敏感的诊断方法。治疗和修复的原则包括预防空气栓塞、修复食管穿孔和心房缺损,以及在食管和心脏之间置入自体组织。
