Atrioesophageal fistula: is it an unavoidable complication of radiofrequency ablation? Bingur Sonmez, MD, Ergun Demirsoy, MD, Oguz Yilmaz, MD The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Volume 126, Issue 5, Pages 1662-1663 (November 2003) DOI: 10.1016/S0022-5223(03)01049-3

Figure 1 A, The connecting points of 2 overlapping circles (arrows) around right and left pulmonary veins are the stress points receiving twice the dose of RF, thus are the most vulnerable points in the posterior wall of the left atrium neighboring the esophagus. B, Connecting line between 2 circles should be as high as possible to avoid heat injury of the esophagus (the hatched area represents the posterior wall of the left atrium in close neighborhood with the esophagus). RSPV, Right superior pulmonary vein; RIPV, right inferior pulmonary vein; LSPV, left superior pulmonary vein; LIPV, left inferior pulmonary vein. The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2003 126, 1662-1663DOI: (10.1016/S0022-5223(03)01049-3)
