Reduced esophageal heating in high ‐power short‐duration atrial fibrillation ablation in the contact force catheter era

Conclusion: HPSD technique compared to the LPLD technique showed significant reduced radiofrequency and fluoroscopy times, higher rate of first-pass isolation, lower recurrence rate and esophageal temperature elevation and may also have a protective effect avoiding incidental esophageal injury due to these findings.This article is protected by copyright.
