During the past decade, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved rapidly from a
highly experimental unproven procedure, to its current status as a commonly performed …

Esophageal perforation is a dreaded complication of atrial fibrillation ablation that occurs in
0.1% to 0.25% of atrial fibrillation ablation procedures. Delayed diagnosis is associated with …

Aims The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of oesophageal lesions after
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) with or without the use of …

Background—Left atrioesophageal fistula is a rare but devastating complication that may
occur after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. We used capsule endoscopy to assess …

Background—It is common practice to empirically limit the radiofrequency (RF) power when
ablating the posterior left atrium during atrial fibrillation ablation to avoid thermal injury to the …

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

OBJECTIVES: Radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with left atrial arrhythmias may
cause esophageal damage because of the close proximity between the posterior wall of the …
