PROCEDURE

Esophageal Temperature-Guided Ablation

Esophageal temperature-guided ablation (if esophageal temperatures drop too low during cryoablation, the physician will stop the ablation) in order to increase the safety profile of cryoballoon pulmonary vein (a vein carrying blood from the participants lungs to the left side of the participants heart known as the left atrium) isolation (PVI \[means a balloon shaped catheter will be placed at the opening of each pulmonary vein and tissue will be cooled in order to create an ablation line (line of scar tissue) between the left side of the participants heart and each pulmonary vein. This is done to prevent the triggers that typically cause intermittent atrial fibrillation (known as Paroxsymal Atrial Fibrillation) by providing one center's experience.
