Supports radiation minimization in PVI; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does a novel radiation reduction program reduce radiation exposure in patients undergoing primary pulmonary vein isolation?
Implementation of an enhanced radiation reduction program significantly decreases radiation exposure during pulmonary vein isolation procedures without compromising safety.
