ABSTRACT:
An esophageal catheter for displacing and fixing the position of the esophagus in relation to the atrium of the heart is composed of a long flexible tube to be inserted into the esophagus. A control wire is associated with the tube to change the shape of the catheter and displace the esophagus relative to the heart to reduce the risk of an esophageal fistula resulting from atrial RF ablation.
