Esophageal Findings in the Setting of a Novel Preventive Strategy to Avoid Thermal Lesions during Hybrid Thoracoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Esophageal Findings in the Setting of a Novel Preventive Strategy to Avoid Thermal Lesions during Hybrid Thoracoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Purpose The development of an atrio-esophageal fistula, a rare yet potentially lethal complication of ablation for atrial fibrillation, could be related to direct tissue heat transfer during and immediately after the ablation. We therefore studied the postoperative esophageal findings by esophagogas...
