A multimodal strategy integrating esophageal visualization with the multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and simultaneous temperature monitoring has never been put into practice. We have developed an isodistance map (esophageal print) to depict the atrio-esophageal relationship and to analyze the esophageal position peri procedurally. The present randomized study intends to analyze the usefulness of the esophageal print in predicting local thermal heating of the esophagus.
