pubmed:abstractText |
While conceptually straightforward, placing point-to-point contiguous radiofrequency lesions to achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is technically challenging in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, chronic efficacy is limited by late PV reconnections. A novel compliant balloon ablation catheter able to deliver visually guided short arcs/spots of laser energy was tested in initial preclinical and clinical cases to determine if visual guidance could predict reliable and persistent PVI.
