Esophageal positions relative to the left atrium; data from 293 patients before catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation

Esophageal positions relative to the left atrium; data from 293 patients before catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation

Aims: Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) of the left atrium (LA) and the esophagus is a simple and safe method for analyzing the relationship between the esophagus and the LA during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. The purpose of this study is to describe the location of the es...
