Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an important alternative to
antiarrhythmic drugs in the treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation. However, the inability …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, once thought to be
benign as long as the ventricular rate was controlled, is associated with significant cardiac …

Background Electrical isolation of pulmonary veins (PV) with high-power short-duration
(HPSD) radiofrequency application (RFa) may reduce the duration of atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is an established treatment option for symptomatic patients.
The cornerstone of all ablation strategies is electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins (PVs) …

Background Simultaneous atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation and left atrial appendage
closure (LAAC) are sometimes recommended for both rhythm control and stroke prevention …

Aims Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) guided by the Ablation Index (AI) has shown high acute
and mid-term efficacy in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Previous data …

Purpose The feasibility and safety of cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation with contiguous
lesions using ablation index (AI) under the guidance of fluoroscopy integrated 3D mapping …

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 …

Aims The effectiveness of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) guided by VISITAG SURPOINT
(VS) has been demonstrated in Western populations. However, data for Asian populations …

Abstract Purpose of Review Studies have suggested the superiority of high-power compared
