Esophageal deviation with vacuum suction and mechanical deflection during ablation of atrial fibrillation: First in man evaluation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2020
AbstractDeviation of the esophagus during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation can reduce esophageal injury. This study reports upon a novel esophageal retractor that utilizes vacuum suction and mechanical deflection to deviate the esophagus. The device was used in seven patients undergoing cryoballoon AF ablation. The esophagus was deviated 31.9 ± 4.4 mm

1786 Major Esophageal Bleeding Secondary to Mechanical Injury From Esophageal Deviation During Pulmonary Vein Isolation

American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2019
INTRODUCTION: Radiofrequency catheter ablation and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) are electrophysiologic interventions frequently performed for the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Given the anatomic proximity of the esophagus and left atrium, the former is prone to thermal injury which can lead to peri-esophageal nerve ...
