Asymmetric biphasic pulsed field ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: clinical assessment [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundPulsed field ablation (PFA) is a non-thermal, tissue-selective therapy for atrial fibrillation. In this study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of a novel asymmetric biphasic PFA system, which combines a unique pulse-parameter configuration

Minimizing Atrioesophageal Fistula Risk After AF Ablation: Risk Factors, Prevention, and Emerging Mini-Thermal Technology. [PDF]

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol
ABSTRACT Atrial esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but life‐threatening complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, linked to thermal injuries by conventional radiofrequency (RF) and cryo‐balloon (CB) ablation techniques. AEF risk can be mitigated by considering several measures such as tailored power settings of ablation technique, mechanical ...

Atrio-Esophageal Fistula: A Rare Entity Complicating a Common Procedure

Case Reports in Critical Care, 2023
A 66-year-old female with a history of radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation presented with hematemesis and fever. A CT chest revealed an atrio-esophageal fistula (AEF) and a CT head showed bilateral septic emboli.

Proactive esophageal cooling protects against thermal insults during high-power short-duration radiofrequency cardiac ablation

International Journal of Hyperthermia, 2022
Background Proactive cooling with a novel cooling device has been shown to reduce endoscopically identified thermal injury during radiofrequency (RF) ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation using medium power settings.

Atrioesophageal Fistula After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A single center series. [PDF]

J Atr Fibrillation, 2017
BackgroundThe incidence of atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) after atrial fibrillation catheter ablation is reported to be 0.015%-0.04%, though it is likely underreported due to a number of factors including misdiagnosis.
