Does anatomically guided ganglionated plexus ablation terminate electrical firing from isolated pulmonary veins in patients with drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Anatomically guided ganglionated plexus ablation frequently terminates rapid electrical firing from isolated pulmonary veins, highlighting the role of autonomic interactions in atrial fibrillation mechanisms.
Jiang et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (n=12). Anatomically guided ganglionated plexus ablation was evaluated on Termination of pulmonary vein firing. Anatomically guided ganglionated plexus ablation terminated persistent pulmonary vein firing in 8 of 12 patients (66.7%) after initial pulmonary vein isolation.
