Ultrasonic characterization of the pulmonary venous wall: echographic and histological correlation [PDF]
Background: Pulmonary vein isolation with radiofrequency catheter ablation techniques is used to prevent recurrences of human atrial fibrillation. Visualization of the architecture at the venoatrial junction could be crucial for these ablative techniques.
