BACKGROUND: Endoscopically detected esophageal lesions (EDELs) are common following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and may progress to atrioesophageal fistula (AEF).
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to study (1) the benefit of luminal esophageal temperature (LET) monitoring and (2) the impact of esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) in detecting EDEL and defining pre-existing lesions. The primary endpoint was the number of ablation-induced lesions.
METHODS: Patients with atrial fibrillation were randomized to PVI with LET monitoring (LET[+]) or without LET monitoring (LET[-]). All patients underwent EGD before and after PVI. Ablation power at the left atrial (LA) posterior wall was limited to 25 W in all patients and was titrated to a minimum of 10 W guided by esophageal temperature in the LET[+] group.
RESULTS: Eighty-six patients (age 67 ± 10 years; 57% male) were included (44 LET[+], 42 LET[-]). PVI was achieved in all, and additional linear LA lesions were done in 50%. Eight patients developed EDEL (6 LET[+], 2 LET[-]; P = NS). Whereas LET <41°C did not differentiate with regard to EDEL formation, temperature overshooting ≥42°C was associated with a higher risk for new EDEL. Two-thirds of patients showed incidental findings (esophagitis, gastric ulcer) on preprocedural EGD; 8 esophageal lesions were pre-existing. Four patients in the LET[+] group developed epistaxis following insertion of the probe.
CONCLUSION: Monitoring of LET does not prevent ablation-induced esophageal lesions. Patients without temperature surveillance were not at higher risk, but temperatures ≥42°C were associated with increased likelihood of mucosal lesions.
