PRIMARY
Feasibility of a Tethered OFDI Capsule in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Following RF Ablation That Swallow the OFDI Capsule
1

Summary

12 patients with Atrial Fibrillation, a kind of irregular heart beat who have undergone Radio frequency (RF) ablation will be asked to swallow the capsule. As they swallow the capsule, images of the esophagus will be taken to see if the RF ablation caused any form of damage to the esophagus considering it being so close to the heart. After the capsule has been removed from the mouth, they will be asked about the tolerability of the capsule.
