A detailed definition of pulmonary vein (PV) anatomy is of great importance in patients undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. In fact, it is known that variations in the number and anatomy of the PV ostia are more frequent than thought. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) in defining the exact PV anatomy by comparing it with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), which is proven to be very accurate.
