High density mapping guided partial antral ablation for a pulmonary vein isolation

Abstract The muscular discontinuities at the pulmonary vein (PV)–left atrial (LA) junction are known. The high-density mapping may help to find the muscular discontinuity. This study evaluated the efficacy of a partial antral ablation for a pulmonary vein (PV) isolation using high density (HD) mappi...
