Characterization of Atrial Substrate to Predict the Success of Pulmonary Vein Isolation: The Prospective, Multicenter MASH‐AF II (Multipolar Atrial Substrate High Density Mapping in Atrial Fibrillation) Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Left atrial substrate may have mechanistic relevance for ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). We sought to analyze the relationship between low‐voltage zones (LVZs), transition zones, and AF recurrence in patients undergoing pulmonary vein ...

How to perform pulmonary vein isolation [PDF]

EP Europace, 2004
The advent of technology for the delivery of radiofrequency energy via electrode catheters, in the late 1980s, led to the perfection of techniques for the ablation of accessory pathways and classical flutter [1–4]. This has been so successful that these substrates for arrhythmia are rarely seen in the Western world.

Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation with Real‐Time Recordings from the Pulmonary Veins [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2009
Introduction: Cryoballoon (CB) ablation represents a novel technology for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). We investigated feasibility and safety of CB‐PVI, utilizing a novel spiral catheter (SC), thereby obtaining real‐time PV potential registration.

5-Year Outcome of Pulmonary Vein Isolation by Loss of Pace Capture on the Ablation Line Versus Electrical Circumferential Pulmonary Vein Isolation. [PDF]

, 2017
OBJECTIVES This study sought to compare long-term arrhythmia-free survival between electrical circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and PVI with the endpoint of unexcitability along the ablation line.

A rare case of right heart failure with the necessity for veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation following pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation

Pulmonary Circulation, 2023
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) after radiofrequency energy‐mediated percutaneous pulmonary vein isolation as a treatment option for atrial fibrillation is a serious complication and the prevalence in historical reports varies between 0% and 42%.

Prophylactic Cavotricuspid Isthmus Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation without Documented Typical Atrial Flutter: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2022
Background: The advantage of prophylactic cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation for AF patients without documented atrial flutter is still unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of prophylactic CTI ablation in this population.
