Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an important therapeutic modality for atrial fibrillation (AF), widely utilized in clinical practice due to its safety and significant efficacy. This case report describes a unique instance of a patient developing AEF following AF ablation, accompanied by ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction.

Atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but lethal complication of radiofrequency atrial fibrillation ablation. Symptoms are frequently non-specific, and generally include fevers, rigors, focal neurological deficits, and seizures. A high index of suspicion is needed to guide early diagnosis and surgical management.

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. LAD — 100% proximal occlusion; with 70-89% mid-vessel narrowing. LCx — 50-69% stenosis of the 1st marginal branch; with 100% distal LCx occlusion. RCA — 100% proximal occlussion.
