Sažetak
Gastroparesis is a chronic disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying after meals in the absence of any mechanical obstructions, especially pyloric stenosis. The main symptoms include early satiety and fullness after a meal, nausea, vomiting, belching and bloating. Gastroparesis is a complication of AF ablation which arises due to iatrogenic damage to the periesophageal VN fibers. Most cases are asymptomatic, but our patient suffered from weight loss, abdominal pain and vomiting. This report describes a case of severe gastroparesis resulting following RF catheter ablation of AF.
