Recent studies have demonstrated that the myocardium around the pulmonary vein (PV) ostia plays an important role in the initiation and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF).1–11 This important finding has led to the development of segmental PV ostial isolation,3–6 circumferential ablation or isolation around the PVs using circular linear lesions guided by 3D electro-anatomical mapping.7–11… View more

Catheter ablation has become the curative treatment for various cardiac arrhythmias. Extending the indications from simple supraventricular tachycardias to complex arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia or atrial fibrillation (AF) has led to more challenging procedures. These procedures have prolonged fluoroscopy exposure and the need for stable and reproducible catheter movement. Therefore,… View more
