Visualization of Real‐Time Esophageal Location Using Intracardiac Echocardiography on a Three‐Dimensional Mapping System: Comparison of Esophageal Location Using Preoperative Computed Tomography and Investigation of Predictors for Esophageal Movement
The results showed that ICE-Eso provided real-time, accurate esophageal location compared to CT-Eso. Therefore, ICE-Eso-guided PVI on the left atrial posterior wall near the esophagus may be a safe method. Additionally, non-fasting on the day of catheter ablation could help to predict esophageal movement.
