Interatrial distance predicts the necessity of additional carina ablation to isolate the right-sided pulmonary veins

Background: Ablation of the pulmonary vein (PV) carina is occasionally required for PV isolation (PVI). Marshall bundle and epicardial connections between the right-sided PV (RtPV) carina and right atrium (RA) may be one of the mechanisms that necessitates carina ablation. Objective: We sought to cl...
