Background Endoscopically detected esophageal lesions (EDELs) are common following
pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and may progress to atrioesophageal fistula (AEF). Objective …

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an established treatment option for
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Recently, a novel endoscopic ablation system (EAS) was …

Background The incidence of endoscopically detected esophageal lesions after pulmonary
vein isolation (PVI) is as high as 18%. Intraesophageal temperature rise (ITR) during …

Introduction To evaluate short‐term efficacy and incidence of ablation‐induced
endoscopically detected esophageal injury in patients undergoing high‐power, short …

Objectives This study sought to investigate the safety profile of a novel ablation index–
guided high-power short-duration (AI-HP) pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in terms of …

Objective: Atrio-esophageal fistula is an infrequent but devastating complication of catheter-
based ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Thermal esophageal injury may be the precursor of …

Introduction: Esophageal temperature rise (ETR) during ablation inside left atrium has been
reported as a marker for esophageal thermal injury. We sought to investigate the possible …

Background—Left atrioesophageal fistula is a devastating complication of atrial fibrillation
ablation. There is no standard approach for avoiding this complication, which is caused by …

Background High-power, short-duration ablation for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in the
treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) facilitates the procedure and improve effectiveness; …

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