Pulmonary vein antrum isolation

Heart Rhythm, 2007
Pulmonary vein antrum isolation offers safe and effective treatment of atrial fibrillation by eliminating the potential triggers of this arrhythmia. The pulmonary vein antra encompass, in addition to the pulmonary veins, the left atrial roof and posterior wall and, in the case of the right pulmonary vein antra, a portion of the interatrial septum ...

Assessment of the need of a waiting period after pulmonary vein isolation with the ablation index software

Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2022
Since the widespread availability of contact‐force sensing catheters, the need for a waiting period after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has not been reassessed.

Pulmonary Vein Isolation vs Sham Intervention in Symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation: The SHAM-PVI Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
Importance There are concerns that pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation may have a profound placebo effect, but no double-blind randomized clinical trials have been conducted.

Balloon Catheters for Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Herz Kardiovaskuläre Erkrankungen, 2008
The mainstay of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The shortcomings of a point-by-point ablation approach using radiofrequency current steadily kindle the interest in new energy sources and catheter designs.

Pulmonary Vein Isolation With or Without Left Atrial Appendage Ligation in Atrial Fibrillation: The aMAZE Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)
Importance Left atrial appendage elimination may improve catheter ablation outcomes for atrial fibrillation. Objective To assess the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous left atrial appendage ligation adjunctive to catheter pulmonary vein isolation
