Study Summary

In this randomized double-blind study, the investigators would like to compare standard practice (i.e., use of luminal esophageal temperature monitoring) to that of esophageal deviation during AF ablation. The investigators hypothesize that the strategy of esophageal deviation will result in safer ablation strategy with a reduction in the incidence of esophageal injury as assessed by endoscopy.

Primary Outcome

The presence of esophageal injury as assessed by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy that is performed within 1 week of the procedure.

Interventions

  • DEVICE esophageal deviation with IDE device
