Balloon Catheter Position and its Relationship with Esophageal Temperature during Pulmonary Vein Isolation using High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound

BACKGROUND: HIFU can achieve PVI, but severe esophageal complications have happened. We analyzed relative position of HIFU balloon catheter (BC) to esophageal temperature (ET) probe and correlated it to ET changes. METHODS AND RESULTS: Before each ablation relative position of HIFU BC to ET probe wa...
