Abstract

We present a patient who underwent cryoballoon ablation for symptomatic atrial fibrillation, with gastroparesis five days later. The case was resolved with conservative measures such as prokinetics. The case was a 72-year-old female with a history of symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation treated with edoxaban. Pulmonary vein isolation using a cryoballoon catheter was performed. Five days later, she presented with upper abdominal pain, bloating and vomiting.
