Fig 2 Schematic drawing of topographical relationship between the heart (left) and the surrounding tissue (right). Anterioposterior and sagittal view demonstrate the proximity of the esophagus and the left atrium, separated by only the adventitia of the esophagus and the pericardium (arrow). (IVC = inferior vena cava; CS = coronary sinus; LA = left atrium, LPV = left pulmonary vein; PA = pulmonary artery; RA = right atrium; RPV = right pulmonary vein; RSPV = right superior pulmonary vein; RIPV = right inferior pulmonary vein; SVC = superior vena cava.)
