Incidence of asymptomatic oesophageal lesions after atrial fibrillation ablation using an oesophageal temperature probe with insulated thermocouples: a comparative controlled study

Abstract

According to these preliminary results, the use of oesophageal temperature probes with insulated thermocouples seems to be feasible in patients undergoing AF RF catheter ablation. The incidence of post-procedural EDEL when using a cut-off of 39°C is comparable to the incidence of EDEL without using a temperature probe.
