Challenges and Outcomes of Posterior Wall Isolation for Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Challenges and Outcomes of Posterior Wall Isolation for Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Background The left atrial posterior wall (PW) often contains sites required for maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF). Electrical isolation of the PW is an important feature of all open surgeries for AF. This study assessed the ability of current ablation techniques to achieve PW isolation (PWI)...
