| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Proactive esophageal cooling reduces injury during radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the left atrium (LA) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). New catheters are capable of higher wattage settings up to 90 W (very high-power short duration, vHPSD) for 4s. Varying power and duration however does not eliminate the risk of thermal injury. Furthermore, alternative energy sources such as pulsed field ablation (PFA) also exhibit thermal effects, with clinical data showing esophageal temperatures up to 40.3°C. The ensoETM esophageal cooling device (Attune Medical, now a part of Haemonetics, Boston, MA, U.S.A.) is commercially available and FDA-cleared to reduce thermal injury to the esophagus during RF ablation for AF and is recommended in the 2024 expert consensus statement on catheter and surgical ablation of AF. Areas Covered: This review summarizes growing evidence of esophageal cooling during high power RF ablation for AF treatment, including data relating to procedural efficacy, safety, and efficiency, and techniques to enhance operator success while providing directions for further research. Expert Opinion: Proactive esophageal cooling reduces injury to the esophagus during high power RF ablation, and utilizing this approach may result in increased success in first-pass. |
