Abstract: Esophageal injury is rare but potentially a devastating complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. The goal here was to provide insight into the short‐term natural history of esophageal thermal injury (ETI) after radiofrequency catheter ablation… read more here.

Abstract: Esophageal thermal injury (ETI) is a known and potentially serious complication of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. We intended to evaluate the distance between the esophagus and the left atrium posterior wall (LAPW) and its… read more here.
