During the end of a pulmonary vein isolation (pvi) ablation procedure, an effusion occurred.While performing touch-up ablation at the la ridge, while in voxel mode, the system was unable to define the la ridge due to presence of geo bloat.The patient then became hypotensive and ice reveled an effusion in the la.A pericardiocentesis was performed to stabilize the patient.The patient is currently in stable condition.It was thought that the geo bloat on the system contributed to the reported event.
