Evaluating Pulmonary Vein Isolation [PDF]
Journal of Arrhythmia, 2008 Pulmonary vein isolation is the electrophysiological endpoint of complete conduction block at the level of the veno-atrial junction and must be explicitly distinguished from encircling PV ablation which frequently does not result in isolation.

A meta analysis of pulmonary vein isolation compared with additional ablation strategies for atrial fibrillation [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular DisordersBackground Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) is considered to be the primary strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. However, recurrence of AF and atrial tachycardia was observed to occur often after PVI, which led to the proposition of performing ...

Complications of Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation
Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2019 Since the cryoballoon (CB) was introduced into clinical practice, more than 400,000 patients have undergone a pulmonary vein (PV) isolation with a CB throughout the world. Although the efficacy of the first-generation CB was limited, the recently introduced secondgeneration CB has achieved a greater uniformity in cooling, which has facilitated a ...

JACC: Case Reports, 2020 A 58-year-old woman with drug-refractory symptoms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) was referred for AF ablation. A single site of ganglionated plexus triggering pulmonary vein ectopy and AF was ablated, without pulmonary vein isolation.

Methods and techniques for increasing the safety and efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Folia Medica, 2023 The most common type of sustained arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, which has emerged as the primary therapeutic strategy for atrial fibrillation ...

Emerging Technologies for Pulmonary Vein Isolation [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2020 Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Electrically isolating the pulmonary veins from the left atrium by catheter ablation is superior to antiarrhythmic drug therapy for maintaining sinus rhythm, but its success varies depending on multiple factors, including ...

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background The efficacy of low‐voltage‐area (LVA) ablation has not been well determined. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of LVA ablation in addition to pulmonary vein isolation on rhythm outcomes in patients with paroxysmal atrial ...
