Abstract
Cerebral embolization in invasive cardiovascular procedures is a known problem that has seen some revived attention over the past several months. In interventional electrophysiology, left atrial ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly performed procedure that is known to be associated with this. Fortunately, the incidence of clinically manifest transient ischemic attack or cerebrovascular accidents in AF ablation is low.1 The issue of asymptomatic cerebral emboli (ACE) remains of significant concern, with magnetic resonance imaging studies showing a substantial burden of acutely asymptomatic brain lesions.
