Résumé
A 61-year-old male was referred to our hospital to receive catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Since no anatomical abnormalities were detected by preoperative computed tomography of left atrium and pulmonary veins (PVs), he underwent a cryoballoon ablation for a PV isolation. We performed single, 3-min freeze applications to all four PVs while monitoring the esophageal temperature. Immediately after the procedure, he complained of nausea, followed by a body weight loss of 9 kg over 2 months. Since no structural abnormalities were detected even through careful evaluation, he was diagnosed with hypoperistalsis caused by the cryoballoon ablation. Although his symptoms partially improved, they persisted over a year. The cryoballoon procedure is believed to be relatively safe, but even just a simple 3-min freeze application caused severe hypoperistalsis in the present case. Operators should recognize the risk of such complications. <
