The effect of empirical superior vena cava isolation during total thoracoscopic ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation
Abstract Background In patients with non-paroxysmal AF (atrial fibrillation), various ablation strategies have been attempted to target non-pulmonary vein (PV) foci or to achieve substrate modification beyond pulmonary vein isolation. The efficacy of empirical ablation of the SVC, one of the most co...
