Up to date, circumferential pulmonary vein ablation (CPVA) guided by three-dimensional (3-D) electreanatomic mapping (Carto, USA) has been one of the most favourable procedures for the treatment of AF. However, it is still difficult to acquire the detailed information on number, location, and branching pattern of all pulmonary veins (PVs) when the 3-D electroanatomic mapping system is used alone.展开更多
文摘Catheter ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been a focal target ofelectrophysiological study in recent years. Up to date, circumferential pulmonary vein ablation (CPVA) guided by three-dimensional (3-D) electreanatomic mapping (Carto, USA) has been one of the most favourable procedures for the treatment of AF. However, it is still difficult to acquire the detailed information on number, location, and branching pattern of all pulmonary veins (PVs) when the 3-D electroanatomic mapping system is used alone.
