Pulmonary vein reconnection following cryo-ablation: Mind the “Gap” in the carinae and the left atrial appendage ridge
Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) remains cornerstone to ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). For effective and durable PVI and thus fewer AF recurrences, lesion gaps in transmurality and contiguity responsible for PV reconnection (PVR) could only be addressed when one is cognizant of the potenti...
