Ablation has become a cornerstone for the management of symptomatic atrial fibrillation
(AF) in patients where anti-arrhythmic drugs fail. Electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins …

Background Current thermal ablation methods for atrial fibrillation, including radiofrequency
and cryoablation, have a suboptimal success rate. To avoid pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis …

Catheter ablation (CA) has become the mainstay therapy for the maintenance of sinus
rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) the most …

Catheterbased ablation techniques have been increasingly used as a curative therapy for
treating atrial fibrillation (AF). Currently, radiofrequency (RF) energy is the most widely …

The first edition of Europace journal in 1999 came right around the time of the landmark
publication of the electrophysiologists from Bordeaux, establishing how elimination of …

Background Catheter-based ablation to perform pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has
established itself as a mainstay in the rhythm control strategy of atrial fibrillation. This review …

Catheter ablation is superior to antiarrhythmic drugs in maintaining sinus rhythm for patients
with atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is the cornerstone of any AF …

Catheter ablation is an established and widespread treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF).
Contemporary electroanatomical mapping systems (EAMs) have been developed to …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with
considerable morbidity and mortality. Electrically isolating the pulmonary veins from the left …

Ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is an established treatment option for symptomatic patients.
