Intrapulmonary Vein Ablation Without Stenosis: A Novel Balloon‐Based Direct Current Electroporation Approach

Intrapulmonary Vein Ablation Without Stenosis: A Novel Balloon‐Based Direct Current Electroporation Approach

Background Current thermal ablation methods for atrial fibrillation, including radiofrequency and cryoablation, have a suboptimal success rate. To avoid pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis, ablation is performed outside of the PV, despite the importance of triggers inside the vein. We previously reported o...
