Aims To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pulmonary vein isolation in paroxysmal
atrial fibrillation (PAF) using a standardized workflow aiming to enclose the veins with …

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is an established therapy that reduces AF burden,
improves quality of life, and reduces the risks of cardiovascular outcomes. Although there …

Aims Previous studies could not demonstrate any benefit of more intensive ablation in
addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) including complex fractionated atrial electrogram …

Recent advances in techniques, technologies and proven superiority over anti-arrhythmic
drugs have made catheter ablation the cornerstone of management for atrial fibrillation (AF) …

Background High-frequency, low-tidal-volume (HFLTV) ventilation is a safe and simple
strategy to improve catheter stability and first-pass isolation during pulmonary vein (PV) …

Background in patients with heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF), AF ablation
improves left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), along with prognosis, in a variable …

Abstract Background VISITAG SURPOINT (VS)–guided ablation of paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation has demonstrated good short-and long-term success rates with low rates of …

Background The benefit of an anterior mitral line (AML) in patients with persistent atrial
fibrillation (AF) and anterior atrial scar undergoing ablation has never been investigated …

Introduction High-power short-duration (HPSD) radiofrequency ablation has been proposed
to produce rapid and effective lesions for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). We aimed to …

Background Intraoperative mapping has demonstrated focal activations during human atrial
fibrillation (AF). These putative AF sources can manifest sustained periodic bipolar and …
