ABSTRACT
Esophageal thermal injury is one of the most devastating complications of atrial radiofrequency ablation, and its diagnosis can be challenging. In this report, we highlight the novel use of free water as a contrast material to better visualize the esophageal lumen in a patient with anaphylaxis to Iodinated contrast media and Gadolinium who recently underwent atrial fibrillation ablation. This becomes particularly handy in patients with contrast allergy, and further emphasizes the role of multimodality imaging.
