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:

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.

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. | ||
