主 题:catheter ablation atrial fibrillation anomalous pulmonary venous drainage pulmonary vein superior vena cava
摘 要:It has been demonstrated that pulmonary veins (PV)play an important role in the initiation and perpetuation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).1-5 Therefore, PV isolation has become the cornerstone for catheter ablation in the majority of these AF patients.3-5 In addition, ectopic foci in the non-PVs areas, such as superior vena cava(SVC),
