DOI: 10.1016/j.hrcr.2019.02.002
Abstract: If the LPN is located in the vicinity of the LAA ostium, segmental LAA electrical isolation is feasible and safe. Introduction The initiation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is triggered by focal circuits localized in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(20)30908-6
Abstract: Inducible focal firings arising from the coronary sinus (CS) are a common finding during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures. To date, no studies have compared the clinical impact of electrical isolation versus focal ablation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/circep.122.010975
Abstract: Background: Following left atrial appendage (LAA) electrical isolation, the decision on whether to continue oral anticoagulation after successful atrial fibrillation ablation is based on the study of its mechanical function on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). In… read more here.
