Pulmonary Vein Isolation Alone Versus Adjunctive Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation.

BACKGROUND Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the standard ablation strategy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Despite guideline recommendations favoring PVI alone in PAF, some operators routinely perform extra pulmonary vein ablation (PVI+) during initial procedures. OBJECTIVE To determine frequency of PVI+ s...
