Background Clinically effective ablation approaches for patients with persistent atrial
fibrillation (AF) are still being debated. So far, ablation targets and strategies beyond …

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 …

The left atrial posterior wall has many embryologic, anatomic, and electrophysiologic
characteristics, that are important for the initiation and maintenance of persistent atrial …

From anatomy and diagnostic criteria through specific mapping and ablation techniques,
Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias, 4th Edition, covers all you need to know in this fast …

Objectives This study investigated whether additional electrical posterior box isolation
(POBI) may improve the rhythm outcome of repeat ablation in atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Aims The left atrial posterior wall is a potential ablation target in patients with recurrent atrial
fibrillation despite durable pulmonary vein isolation or in patients with roof-dependent atrial …

Introduction Linear ablation in addition to pulmonary vein antrum isolation (PVAI) has failed
to improve the success rate for persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF), due to incomplete block of …

Introduction Posterior wall isolation (PWI) added to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is
increasingly used despite limited evidence of clinical benefit. We investigated the feasibility …

Background We describe our initial experience using a multipolar pulsed-field ablation
catheter for the treatment of left atrial (LA) reentry tachycardia. Methods We included all …

Background Current clinical imaging modalities such as CT and MRI provide resolution
adequate to diagnose cardiovascular diseases but cannot depict detailed structural features …
