Functional Pulmonary Vein Isolation During Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

J Atr Fibrillation. 2013 Oct 31;6(3):854. doi: 10.4022/jafib.854. eCollection 2013 Oct-Nov.

Abstract

We report a case of apparent isolation of the right inferior pulmonary vein during atrial fibrillation ablation coincident with the onset of an atrial tachycardia. This report highlights the importance of assessing pulmonary vein conduction during sinus or paced rhythm at relatively long cycle length, rather than in atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia.

Keywords: Atrial tachycardia; Catheter ablation; Pulmonary vein isolation.
