The image tetrahedron in man determined by reciprocal stimulation of a tridimensional esophageal electrode.

چکیده
The anatomic apices of a tetrahedron were located on the image surface of living man by reciprocal stimulation of an electrode placed in the esophagus at the assumed electric center of the heart. The rectilineal components of the three-dimensional electrode were not oriented with respect to the axes of the body. Therefore, it was possible to determine the shape of the image tetrahedron but not its orientation in the body. The method is applicable to living man with the electrode placed at any assumed electric center of the heart.

متن کامل[Visualization of the esophagus during pulmonary vein isolation].
Atrioesophageal fistula is one of the most serious complications of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation. We describe a technique to monitor esophageal position during this procedure. A 39-year-old patient with atrial fibrillation underwent pulmonary vein isolation under guidance of the EnSite NavXTM electroanatomic navigation system. To avert unintentional esophageal injury, a tetrapolar electrode fo...
