Adequate catheter/atrial tissue contact is critical for lesion formation during radiofrequency (RF) ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Late gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE‐MRI) is a unique tool for the evaluation of lesion formation and detection of acute esophageal injury.
