Although the substrates of atrial fibrillation, its initiation and maintenance, remain to be fully
elucidated, catheter ablation in the left atrium has become a therapeutic option for patients …

The present treatment of atrial fibrillation by radiofrequency catheter ablation requires long
continuous lesions in the thin walled left atrium where side effects may lead to serious …

Background—There are no reports describing the technique, electrophysiological
evaluation, and clinical consequences of complete linear block at roofline joining the …

Aims We examined the left lateral ridge (LLR) between the orifices of the left pulmonary
veins and the left atrial appendage for a better understanding of its structural composition …

Atrial structures are important in the current era of cardiac interventions using percutaneous
transcatheter procedures. Understanding their locations and component parts helps to …

Background: The deployment of an ablation line connecting the left inferior PV to the mitral
annulus (mitral isthmus line [MIL]) enhances the efficacy of pulmonary vein disconnection …

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 …

This review article gives a comprehensive survey of the progress made in computational
modeling of the human atria during the last 10 years. Modeling the anatomy has emerged …

Objectives In this study, the authors sought to investigate the added value of vein of Marshall
ethanol infusion (VOMEt) as first step in facilitating radiofrequency (RF)–guided mitral …

Introduction: The left atrium (LA) ablation in different regions, including LA appendage
(LAA), LA roof, and LA septum, has recently been proposed to improve the success rate of …
