Bigeminal Pulmonary Vein Ectopy Suppressed by Pulmonary Vein Isolation

International Heart Journal, 2008
A 58-year-old man with atrial fibrillation underwent pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI). Bigeminal atrial premature beats persisted from the beginning of the PVI. The cardiac recordings from a basket catheter (BC) revealed the PV ectopic origin in the distal right superior PV.

Characteristics of Phrenic Nerve Injury During Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using a 28‐mm Second‐Generation Cryoballoon and Short Freeze Strategy

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundThe reported incidence of phrenic nerve injury (PNI) varies owing to different definitions, balloon generations, balloon size, freezing regimen, and protective maneuvers.

The adjunctive effect for left pulmonary vein isolation of vein of Marshall ethanol infusion in persistent atrial fibrillation

Europace, 2022
Objective This study sought to assess the effect of ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (EIVOM) on the acute success of left pulmonary vein (LPV) isolation in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF).

Radiofrequency Versus Cryoballoon Catheter Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Durability of Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Effect on Atrial Fibrillation Burden

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2021
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: Recurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation is presumably caused by failure to achieve durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

Catheter entrapment in a pulmonary vein: a unique complication of pulmonary vein isolation. [PDF]

, 2010
Ablation strategies for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) are associated with several potential complications. During electro-anatomic mapping of the left atrium (LA) before ablation, the ablation catheter was entrapped in the right inferior ...

Characterization of circumferential antral pulmonary vein isolation areas resulting from pulsed-field catheter ablation

Europace, 2022
Aims The cornerstone of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) is a wide-area circumferential ablation (WACA) resulting in an antral PVI area. Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a new nonthermal ‘single-shot’ PVI technique resulting in well-characterized ...

Sinus node injury during adjunctive superior vena cava isolation in a patient with triggered atrial fibrillation

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2016
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained heart arrhythmia. Premature beats arising from foci other than pulmonary veins have been related to its pathogenesis.

Single Ectopy-Triggering Ganglionated Plexus Ablation Without Pulmonary Vein Isolation Prevents Atrial Fibrillation

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.
