摘要: Background: Atrio-esophageal fistulas have been described as a consequence of radiofrequency (RF) ablation for the treatment atrial fibrillation (AF). However, whether cryoablation can avoid this potential fatal complication remains unclear. Methods and Results: We studied effects direct application RF on cervical esophagus in 16 calves. Cryoablation was performed with 6.5-mm catheter probe using single 5-minute freeze at 0.05). lesion width volume were significantly larger than Day 7. Although acute (Day 1) chronic 14) lesions comparable size, histologic evidence partial- to full-wall esophageal ulceration observed 0 44 (0%) cryoablation, compared 9 41 (22%) (P = 0.0025). Conclusions: Direct created similar dimensions esophagus. associated lower risk ulceration, ablation.
