#EHRAtopicweek on “Esophageal injuries in #AF ablation”

I am very proud to share with you the 3rd episode of 🎙 "EHRA Cardio Talk - Keep the rhythm" The #EHRA_ESC podcast: Oesophagal injuries related to AF ablation 🎙with @EPDeneke & @DavidDuncker

Some publications from @EPDeneke about Esophageal injuries.
1⃣ a must read publication from 2017: bit.ly/3D1GGto

Esophagal perforation delayed diagnosis is associated w/ development of atrial-esophageal fistula & ⬆️mortality.

#EHRAtopicweek

In this study, @EPDeneke assessed the S-Cath temperature probe consisting of 12 fast-response temp sensors on a S-shaped probe providing an ⬆️coverage of the esophagus. Even if ablation time was ⬇️ at post. wall, esophagal lesions were ↔️

In this study assessing the impact of contact force ablation catheter with modified irrigation technology, this new technology was not associated with oesophageal thermal lesions.

In 90 patients, very high-power short-duration (vHPSD) via temperature-controlled ablation was not associated with oesophageal ulceration.
