Cryoballoon and Associated Esophageal Effects

Study Description
Brief Summary:

The primary objectives are to determine the correlation between rate of temperature decline and nadir cryoballoon temperatures rate of temperature decline and nadir esophageal temperatures during pulmonary vein isolation. To accurately measure the distance between the esophagus and the ostium of each pulmonary vein intra-operatively. To attempt to create recommendations for esophageal temperature-guided ablation in order to increase the safety profile of cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by providing one center's experience. By trending cryoballoon ablation temperatures and subsequent esophageal temperatures, data trends may emerge and be predictive for esophageal ulceration formation. These trends may include:

  • Distance between esophagus and pulmonary vein in patients who developed post-ablation esophageal ulcerations
  • Intra-procedure esophageal temperatures in patients who developed post-ablation esophageal ulcerations
  • Intra-procedure cryoballoon temperatures in patients who developed post-ablation esophageal ulcerations As well as to associate the development of symptoms (including dysphagia, chest pain, fever, "heartburn," or odynophagia) with the presence of ulcerations.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Atrial Fibrillation Procedure: Ablation with cryoenergy Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
When treating atrial fibrillation and targeting various areas in the left atrium, electrophysiologists have the choice to perform ablation with RF energy or cryoenergy. Esophageal ulceration and in more rare cases, esophageal fistulae, are known complications of this ablation procedure. Though rare (0.1-0.25% fistula rate and 15-20% esophageal ulceration rate according to the most recent Heart Rhythm Society EHRA ECA consensus statement)1, the investigators would very much like to understand how to completely prevent these occurrences. Cryoenergy has more recently been introduced as an energy source used in the PVI procedure; therefore, for this energy source, rates of esophageal ulceration are not yet well-defined. Nine esophageal fistulae have occurred in the first approximately 130,000 cryoballoon procedures.

Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Esophageal Effects
To determine the correlation between rate of temperature decline and nadir cryoballoon temperatures rate of temperature decline and nadir esophageal temperatures during pulmonary vein isolation. Esophageal temperature probe is used during cryoablation to measure temperatures and then a 4-7 days post procedure esophagoscopy is performed to evaluate the physical effects on the esophagus.
Procedure: Ablation with cryoenergy
Esophageal temperature-guided ablation using cryoengery and an esophageal temperature probe.
Other Name: esophageal temperature-guided ablation

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of temperature decline [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    Compare the correlation between rate of temperature decline and nadir cryoballoon temperatures rate of temperature decline and nadir esophageal temperatures during pulmonary vein isolation using a esotest probe esophageal temperature probe to record the esophageal temperatures

  2. Associate the development of symptoms [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    To associate the development of symptoms (including dysphagia, chest pain, fever, "heartburn," or odynophagia) with the presence of ulcerations using a symptom questionnaire and visualize the esophagus 4-7 days post procedure via esophagoscopy


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Phrenic nerve injury [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    To collect data phrenic nerve injury assessed with patient symptom questionnaire

  2. Post procedure symptoms [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    To collect data regarding post-procedure symptoms including but not limited to cough, hemoptysis, and pericardial effusion using a symptom questionnaire
