Higher incidence of esophageal lesions after ablation of atrial fibrillation related to the use of esophageal temperature probes

Background Endoscopically detected esophageal lesions (EDELs) have been identified in apparently asymptomatic patients after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The use of esophageal probes to monitor luminal esophageal temperature (LET) during catheter ablation to protect esophageal dama...
