Oesophageal injury prevention has become a major concern in the field of electrophysiology since the first case of atrio–oesophageal fistula was reported as a complication of endocardial surgical radiofrequency ablation (RFA),1 with Scanavacca et al. and Pappone et al. subsequently reporting this complication in patients who underwent percutaneous pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for AF.2,3 It is… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and the prevalence is increasing every year; it is expected to affect 12 million Americans by the year 2030.1 A significant portion of patients fail to maintain sinus rhythm with use of anti-arrhythmic drug therapy and are referred for catheter ablation. Ablation is currently indicated for patients with paroxysmal (class I) or… View more

EHRA 23: POTTER: Oesophageal Fistulae in Catheter Ablation Patients
Author(s): Roland R Tilz Added: 1 year ago
EHRA 23 - In this short interview, Prof Roland Tilz (University Heart Centre Lübeck, DE) outlines the findings from the POTTER registry. The POTTER Registry (NCT05273645) gathered data on patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with a rare complication, atrio-oesophageal fistula (AOF). The registry focuses on the incidence, diagnosis and management of this complication, which affects… View more

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has become an accepted therapeutic strategy for AF.1 The cryoballoon (CB) ablation system has been introduced into clinical practice as a tool for a single-shot anatomical based-PVI, and a comparable efficacy of the CB ablation to radiofrequency (RF) ablation has been demonstrated in a prospective randomised study.2–4 The recently introduced second-generation CB … View more

Catheter ablation is an effective strategy to maintain sinus rhythm in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), which has evolved from a highly specialised technique to a first-line therapy.1–3 The cornerstone of ablation is pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).4 Over the last decade, ablation devices have undergone technical improvements, aiming for better lesion durability and ablation… View more
