ABSTRACT
We present a case of a patient who presented to the emergency department with vague abdominal pain one month after undergoing a left atrial ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation. While in the emergency department, the patient started to have episodes of hematemesis. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed and the patient become hypotensive and unresponsive after. Imaging confirmed atrioesophageal fistula and widespread cerebral air emboli and diffuse ischemia. Air emboli were likely introduced through the fistula during the EGD.
