TEMPORAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ESOPHAGEAL INJURY TYPE AND PROGRESSION IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING ATRIAL FIBRILLATION ABLATION

Esophageal injury related lesions post atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation range from superficial erythema to a full blown atrio-esophageal fistula (AEF). Very little is known about the natural progression of these lesions. We performed a systematic review of the literature to identify temporal
