Core Tip	We report the successful endoscopic management of an esophagopericardial fistula induced by radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. Esophagopericardial fistulas are a complication of great significance, being extremely difficult to manage and having a very high mortality rate. In this case, the patient was treated with a fully covered esophageal stent combined with surgical pericardial drainage. It is important to be aware of the increasing incidence of post-radiofrequency esophageal complications for cardiological applications. Furthermore, the possibility to place endoscopic stents as a potential therapeutic option for the occurrence of post-radiofrequency esophageal fistula is extremely important as part of a treatment plan for this complication.
