• Mortality, morbidity, and quality of life after circumferential pulmonary vein ablation for atrial fibrillation: outcomes from a controlled nonrandomized long-term study. (2003, result): “This may explain why the success rates of this ablative technique in both arrhythmia types are higher than in mapping-guided strategies isolating PVs at their ostia, without excluding any atrial myocardium (14).”
• Catheter Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Segmental Pulmonary Vein Ostial Ablation Versus Left Atrial Ablation (2003, methodology): “However, the left atrial ablation technique used in this study also may have other effects that may be helpful in preventing PAF: (1) the ablation lines may eliminate anchor points for rotors or mother waves that drive AF10,11; (2) the vein of Marshall, which has a left atrial insertion in close pro”
