Abutting Left Atrial Appendage and Left Superior Pulmonary Vein Predicts Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Point-by-Point Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Abutting Left Atrial Appendage and Left Superior Pulmonary Vein Predicts Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation After Point-by-Point Pulmonary Vein Isolation

IntroductionThe role of the spatial relationship between the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) and left atrial appendage (LAA) is unknown. We sought to evaluate whether an abutting LAA and LSPV play a role in AF recurrence after catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF.MethodsConsecutive patients, who...
