Treatment of oesophageal perforation with through-the-scope clips post-high-power short-duration atrial fibrillation ablation: case report
This case underlines the importance of less invasive treatments for oesophageal lesions after catheter ablation, where endoluminal borders are preserved and approximation of the wound-margins allows for tissue repair. Although, this kind of treatment requires timely and thorough investigations as endoscopy and CT scan to exclude (peri-)cardiac involvement.
