Septic vegetation at the left atrial appendage entrance after pulmonary vein ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Sebastian Weis1, Christopher Piorkowski, Arash Arya, Andreas Bollmann.   

Abstract

Pulmonary vein (PV) ablation is increasingly used to treat highly symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Here, we present a case of infective endocarditis (IE) after PV ablation at the uncommon position of the left atrial appendage entrance. We conclude that iatrogenic intracardial manipulation may create predisposing lesions for IE.
