Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been widely used to treat various malignancies, dramatically improving survival. The use of these treatments has been limited by adverse effects. Ibrutinib, a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, has been associated with increased prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in approximately 5%–16% of patients, especially those with prior history of AF, 1 and often leads to treatment discontinuation in a significant proportion of patients. Management of AF in this patient population also presents a unique challenge. Current guidelines recommend rate control as the primary strategy, 2, 3 which can be challenging, since pharmacological management is limited by significant drug interactions with cancer therapies as well as potential side effects. Additionally, the need for anticoagulation in this strategy is challenged by increased risk of bleeding owing to inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation by ibrutinib. 4 Recent studies document the long-term benefits of catheter ablation in maintaining sinus rhythm in the general population. We present a case of ibrutinib-associated symptomatic AF, which was successfully treated with ablation therapy, and allowed the patient to return to ibrutinib therapy for adequate management of his cancer (Figure 1).
