Active esophageal cooling reduces peri-esophageal and vagal nerve injury in radiofrequency-current pulmonary vein isolation

Background: Damage to peri-esophageal tissue may occur following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Active esophageal cooling has been shown to reduce the incidence of mucosal esophageal injury, probably by dissipation of heat and inhibition of inflammation. Whether it also protects the peri-esophageal...
