Abstrakt: Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an effective neuromodulatory treatment for patients with drug resistant epilepsy who cannot undergo curative surgical resection. Safety information states that the use of radiofrequency ablation devices may damage the VNS generator and leads. However, documented cases are scarce. This 62-year-old patient with bitemporal lobe epilepsy treated with VNS underwent radiofrequency ablation of an atrial fibrillation without any perioperative or postoperative complications.
