May inform AF ablation planning; leaves open prospective validation of imaging protocols.
Familiarity with normal anatomic variants and pulmonary vein diameters on CT and MR imaging is essential for preoperative management and early detection of complications in patients undergoing ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Ghaye et al. (2003) conducted a review in Atrial Fibrillation. Cross-sectional imaging (CT or MR) was evaluated. Pre- and postprocedural cross-sectional imaging with CT or MRI is essential for depicting anatomy and detecting complications in patients undergoing percutaneous ablation for atrial fibrillation.
