Abstract
Atrial thrombus exclusion and transesophageal cardioversion of AF via a disposable cardioversion sheath offers the opportunity to perform transesophageal cardioversion and TEE thrombus exclusion during one sedation. It may not be suitable for use in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Transesophageal cardioversion may establish sinus rhythm in selected patients refractory to transthoracic cardioversion.
