Cryoballoon and Associated Esophageal Effects
Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Associated Esophageal Effects (Medtronic EGD)
The primary objectives are to determine the correlation between rate of temperature decline and nadir cryoballoon temperatures rate of temperature decline and nadir esophageal temperatures during pulmonary vein isolation. To accurately measure the distance between the esophagus and the ostium of each pulmonary vein intra-operatively. To attempt to create recommendations for esophageal temperature-guided ablation in order to increase the safety profile of cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by providing one center's experience. By trending cryoballoon ablation temperatures and subsequent esophageal temperatures, data trends may emerge and be predictive for esophageal ulceration formation. These trends may include:
- Distance between esophagus and pulmonary vein in patients who developed post-ablation esophageal ulcerations
- Intra-procedure esophageal temperatures in patients who developed post-ablation esophageal ulcerations
- Intra-procedure cryoballoon temperatures in patients who developed post-ablation esophageal ulcerations As well as to associate the development of symptoms (including dysphagia, chest pain, fever, "heartburn," or odynophagia) with the presence of ulcerations.

Other: Esophageal Effects
To determine the correlation between rate of temperature decline and nadir cryoballoon temperatures rate of temperature decline and nadir esophageal temperatures during pulmonary vein isolation.
Esophageal temperature probe is used during cryoablation to measure temperatures and then a 4-7 days post procedure esophagoscopy is performed to evaluate the physical effects on the esophagus.
