Incidence of ablation-induced esophageal lesions and gastroparesis in patients undergoing ablation index guided high power short duration atrial fibrillation ablation.

The incidence of EDEL or gastroparesis in patients undergoing HPSD AF ablation was 18.5% in the total cohort. The risk of EDEL and gastroparesis was associated with a higher AI target value of 380 compared to 320 and 350 at posterior wall and was reversely associated with body mass index.
