Catheter ablation therapy has been widely used for rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation(AF).1 Since the first report in 1994,2 several interventional techniques have been proposed for AF, including replication of the surgical Maze,2 targeting pulmonary vein (PV) foci,3 segmental ostial and circumferential PV isolation,4,5 ganglionated plexi ablation,6 linear lesions in the left…

The current option for refractory treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) includes hybrid AF-surgery.1–2 The hybrid approach was originally a combination of mini-invasive surgical epicardial evaluation and ablation, as well as endocardial electrophysiologist (EP) catheter ablation with the intention of creating a lesion set to cure AF.3 In the search for greater efficacy with less patient…

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia, is a leading cause of stroke, and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite its frequency, clinical importance, and advances in technology and our knowledge of the molecular, ionic and physiological fundamentals of cardiac electrophysiology, our limited understanding of the mechanisms that initiate and…

Over the past decades catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved from being a largely experimental procedure to a well-established therapeutic option for certain patients with AF.1–4 Currently the backbone of most catheter ablation techniques is to target the pulmonary veins (PVs) in order to achieve their electrical isolation and maintain sinus rhythm (SR).1 Additional techniques…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a fivefold increased risk for stroke, a twofold increased risk for dementia, and a tripling of risk for heart failure,1,2,3 while AF genetic risk is strongly associated with cardioembolic stroke.4In the Framingham Heart Study the percentage of strokes attributable to AF increases steeply from 1.5% at 50–59 years of age to 23.5% at 80−89 years of age.5,6…

Advanced catheter-based technologies employed for the ablation of symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) have revolutionised the management of this common sustained arrhythmia. In the late 1990s, premature depolarisations originating from the myocardial sleeves within the pulmonary veins were recognised to initiate AF. This landmark discovery rendered pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as the…
