Multimodality imaging remains critical for intraprocedural and postprocedural assessment of AF.
Multimodality imaging is essential for the intraprocedural guidance and postprocedural assessment of atrial fibrillation interventions.
Multi-modality imaging plays critical roles during and after procedures associated with atrial fibrillation. Transesophageal echocardiography is an invaluable tool for left atrial appendage occlusion during the procedure and at follow-up. Both cardiac computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance contribute to postprocedural evaluation of pulmonary vein isolation ablation. The present review is the second of a 2-part series where we discuss the roles of cardiac imaging in the evaluation and management of patients with atrial fibrillation, focusing on intraprocedural and postprocedural assessment, including the clinical evidence and outcomes data supporting this future applications.

Quintana et al. (2022) conducted a review in Atrial Fibrillation. Multimodality imaging was evaluated. Multimodality imaging, including transesophageal echocardiography, cardiac CT, and cardiac magnetic resonance, plays a critical role in intra- and postprocedural assessment of atrial fibrillation.
