Multicenter analysis of atrioesophageal fistula rates before and after adoption of active esophageal cooling during atrial fibrillation ablation
2023-02-23

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Active esophageal cooling reduces the incidence of endoscopically identified severe esophageal lesions during radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation of the left atrium for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. No atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) has been reported to date with active esophageal cooling, and only one pericardio-esophageal fistula has been reported; however, a formal...
