Ablation index (AI), a novel parameter defining energy application at single ablation lesions, calculated by integration of ablation time, energy, catheter stability, and contact force, has been documented to be associated with effective lesions and higher ablation efficacy. Using a prespecified target AI in addition to acute lesion efficacy may affect local collateral damage like esophageal thermal injury when used for guiding radiofrequency (RF) ablation at the posterior left atrial (LA) wall.
