Incidence of asymptomatic oesophageal lesions after atrial fibrillation ablation using an oesophageal temperature probe with insulated thermocouples: a comparative controlled study

Conclusion</div>According to these preliminary results, the use of oesophageal temperature probes with insulated thermocouples seems to be feasible in patients undergoing AF RF catheter ablation. The incidence of post-procedural EDEL when using a cut-off of 39°C is comparable to the incidence of EDEL without using a temperature probe.</span>
