Abstract

<h4>Background</h4>Pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis is a complication of ablation for atrial fibrillation. The impact of different ablation strategies on the incidence of PV stenosis and its functional characterization has not been described.<h4>Methods and results</h4>PV isolation was performed in 608 ...
