Abstract:
Currently catheter radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has become the standard treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). During RFA, additional linear lesions are performed along the posterior wall of the left atrium, which can cause damage to the esophagus. The manuscript considers the methods introduced into practice to prevent damage to the esophagus during RFA, the pros and cons of the techniques.
