Luminal esophageal temperature monitoring with a deflectable esophageal temperature probe and intracardiac echocardiography may reduce esophageal injury during atrial fibrillation ablation procedures: results of a pilot study.
BACKGROUND Luminal esophageal temperature (LET) monitoring is one strategy to minimize esophageal injury during atrial fibrillation ablation procedures. However, esophageal ulceration and fistulas have been reported despite adequate LET monitoring. The objective of this study was to assess a novel approach to LET monitoring with a deflectable LET probe on the rate of esophageal injury in patien...
متن کاملMonitoring esophageal temperature during catheter ablation.
I comment on a paper just appeared on JAFIB, aimed at providing an index quantifying the convenience of monitoring esophageal temperature during catheter ablation. The authors base their calculation on the data from four papers. I point out that the data from the two papers strongly against monitoring should be interpreted differently and I suggest how to retrieve more data for a more reliable ...
متن کاملEsophageal injury and temperature monitoring during atrial fibrillation ablation.
BACKGROUND It is common practice to empirically limit the radiofrequency (RF) power when ablating the posterior left atrium during atrial fibrillation ablation to avoid thermal injury to the esophagus. The objective of this study was to determine whether RF energy delivery limited by luminal esophageal temperature (LET) monitoring is associated with a reduction in esophageal injury compared wit...
متن کاملLimitations of esophageal temperature-monitoring to prevent esophageal injury during atrial fibrillation ablation.
A number of complications have been associated with ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), including arterial thrombo-embolism, pulmonary vein stenosis, phrenic nerve injury, and pericardial tamponade.1–4 Esophageal injury, manifested as esophageal perforation or left atrial-esophageal fistula, has been reported after catheter or surgical ablation of AF using radiofrequency (RF) current5–8 and c...
متن کاملFurther evidence against using sorbitans in the brain mechanisms investigation.
In both experimental groups an intraperitoneal injection of a single dose of 450 mg/kg p-Chlorophenylalanine (p-CPA) containing 1.0% arabic gum and 450 mg/kg p-CPA containing 0.1% Tween 80 resulted in a similar drop of the serotonin (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) level in the anterior (HA) and posterior (HP) hypothalamus, midbrain (GC) and amygdala (AM). Despite the fact that ju...
