Abstract

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis is a complication of ablation for atrial fibrillation. The impact of different ablation strategies on the incidence of PV stenosis and its functional characterization has not been described. METHODS AND RESULTS: PV isolation was performed in 608 patients. An ...
