AbstractWe describe a patient with gastroparesis after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) as a result of vagus nerve injury. A 42-year-old man underwent redo-RFCA due to recurrent drug-resistant symptomatic atrial fibrillation. The patient complained of indigestion and early satiety 2 weeks after the second procedure. There was also weight loss of approximately 5 kg for 2 months. He underwent endoscopy during which food material was noticed. In the upper gastrointestinal series, most contrast material still remained in the stomach on the 2-hour delayed images, suggesting delayed gastric emptying time.©2010, The Authors.
