NCT00650728 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2011-06-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

As the left atrium is in close vicinity to the esophagus, radiofrequency ablation in the left atrium may damage the esophagus and create esophageal perforations and esophageal left atrial fistula.
