Short- and long-term experience in pulmonary vein segmental ostial ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation* [PDF]
Introduction: Segmental ostial pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is considered a potentially curative therapeutic approach in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

Clinical and Procedural Effects of Transitioning to Contact Force Guided Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation. [PDF]
Background: A major innovation in atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has been the introduction of contact force (CF) sensing catheters. Objective: To evaluate procedural and clinical effects of transitioning to CF-guided AF ablation.

Abnormal left single pulmonary vein: case report of an anecdotal variant
We describe here a patient with a very rare ectopic unilateral single pulmonary vein, with normal distal drainage into the left atrium, and thus a non pathologic finding to be distinguished from clinically significant abnormalities.

Principal component analysis of atrial fibrillation: Inclusion of posterior ECG leads does not improve correlation with left atrial activity [PDF]
Background Lead V? is routinely analysed due to its large amplitude AF waveform. V? correlates strongly with right atrial activity but only moderately with left atrial activity. Posterior lead V? correlates strongest with left atrial activity.

Partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection in a 72-year-old woman: A case report
Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection is a congenital abnormality characterized by drainage of one or more, but not all, pulmonary veins to the right atrium or to one of the systemic veins.

Report of a rare anatomic variant: left upper lobe partial anomalous pulmonary venous return
We report the CT findings in a case of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) from the left upper lobe in an adult. PAPVR is an anatomic variant in which one to three pulmonary veins drain into the right atrium or its tributaries, rather than ...

Translobar Phenomenon of Pulmonary Veins and Its Clinical Significance in Lobectomy
Background and objective Lobectomy is the main treatment strategy for early lung cancer. However, there are many anatomical variations in the lungs, especially some pulmonary veins will deviate from the normal position, and even cross the border of lob ...
