Incidental and ablation-induced findings during upper gastrointestinal endoscopy in patients after ablation of atrial fibrillation: A retrospective study of 425 patients

Among the findings, thermal esophageal lesions and gastroparesis can be attributed to AF catheter ablation. The high incidence of gastroparesis is a novel finding that deserves further investigation.
