- Abstract
Atrioesophageal fistula is a rare complication of catheter ablation. It can be discovered on computerized topography of the chest. It is a difficulty entity to diagnose and treat and carries a mortality between 67% and 100%. Management options include surgical repair and esophageal stenting. We report here a rare case of an atrioesophageal fistula that presented with massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding and hemiparalysis.
