Modeling esophageal protection from radiofrequency ablation via a cooling device: an analysis of the effects of ablation power and heart wall dimensions

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2020
Background Esophageal thermal injury can occur after radiofrequency (RF) ablation in the left atrium to treat atrial fibrillation. Existing methods to prevent esophageal injury have various limitations in deployment and uncertainty in efficacy.

Prevention of Esophageal Damage During Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation by the Esophagus Mechanical Deviation

Journal of Cardiac Arrhythmias, 2020
Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia in the world population. Despite the use of antiarrhythmics, it is difficult to control clinically, causing symptoms and mainly generating risk of a thromboembolic event.
