During the past decade, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved rapidly from
an investigational procedure to its current status as a commonly performed ablation …

Background: The posterior left atrium is an arrhythmogenic substrate that contributes to the
initiation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF); however, the feasibility, safety, and …

In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

Objectives This study sought to investigate the safety profile of a novel ablation index–
guided high-power short-duration (AI-HP) pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in terms of …

Background Currently, little is known about the onset, natural progression, and management
of esophageal injuries after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Objectives We sought to provide a …

Background Outcomes of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) are variable and the
predictors of success require further elucidation since the identification of correctable risk …

BACKGROUND: The novel second-generation cryoballoon (CB) facilitates pulmonary vein
isolation (PVI) by improved surface cooling. The impact of this redesign on collateral …

The purpose of this review is to understand the epidemiology, clinical features,
etiopathogenesis, and management of atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) after atrial fibrillation …

Background: Electrode‐tissue contact is crucial for adequate lesion formation in
radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Objective: We assessed the impact of direct …
