Abstract We present the case of a 46-year-old woman with an impacted denture and an impending esophageal perforation.
Successful therapy for esophageal perforation depends on the length of the perforation itself, the time elapsed between rupture and diagnosis, and the underlying health of the patient.
With regards to safety, all the clinical results from the prior use of cryoenergy in and around the pulmonary veins suggests that this energy source does not generate serious adverse events such as stenosis (narrowing of the vein), thrombosis (clot formation), and esophageal perforation - three complications that have been consistently reported with alternative heat-based ablation systems.
