Background/aims: Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (ERFA) is a treatment option for superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN), with a relatively low risk of stenosis; however, the long-term outcomes remain unclear. We aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of patients with widespread superficial ESCN who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or ERFA.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with superficial ESCN who underwent ESD or ERFA between January 2015 and December 2021.

Background: Esophageal stricture ranks among the most significant complications following endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). Excessive fibrotic repair is a typical pathological feature leading to stenosis after ESD.

Aim: To examine the effectiveness and underlying mechanism of Kangfuxin solution (KFX) in mitigating excessive fibrotic repair of the esophagus post-ESD.

Article Synopsis
  • The popularity of atrial catheter ablation has surged as a leading treatment for supraventricular tachycardias, praised for its safety and effectiveness.
  • Complications can occur at various stages, including vascular, thromboembolic, and mechanical issues, with atrial fibrillation ablation being notably riskier due to its complexity.
  • Strategies to minimize risks involve advanced techniques like optimized anticoagulation and esophageal temperature monitoring, while emerging methods like pulsed-field ablation show promise for improved safety, pending further research.
