radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) with or without the use of …

Background—Up to 40% of patients demonstrate endoscopically detected asymptomatic
esophageal lesions (EDEL) after atrial fibrillation ablation. Methods and Results—Patients …

Background Endoscopically detected esophageal lesions (EDELs) have been identified in
apparently asymptomatic patients after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The use of …

In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

High-energy ion beams are successfully used in cancer therapy and precisely deliver high
doses of ionizing radiation to small deep-seated target volumes. A similar noninvasive …

Background Atrioesophageal fistula formation is a rare but life-threatening complication of
atrial fibrillation ablation. Contact force (CF)–sensing catheters improve procedural …

Atrioesophageal fistula is a life-threatening complication of ablation treatment for atrial
