For short, concise coverage of the key data revealed, our accessible Expert Interviews were conducted with select faculty, focussing on the results, applicability and impact on future research and clinical practice. 

About the episode

EHRA 23 - In this short interview, Prof Roland Tilz (University Heart Centre Lübeck, DE) outlines the findings from the POTTER registry. 

The POTTER Registry (NCT05273645) gathered data on patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with a rare complication, atrio-oesophageal fistula (AOF). The registry focuses on the incidence, diagnosis and management of this complication, which affects around 0.016-0.07% of PVI patients. Prof Tilz outlines the patient population, key findings and future prospects of this worldwide, multicenter, retrospective registry. 

Questions:
1. What was the rationale behind the creation of this registry?
2. What was the patient population and registry design?
3. What were the key findings?
4. How should these findings inform and shape practice?
