Does linear catheter ablation at the mitral isthmus result in conduction block and cure of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Linear ablation at the mitral isthmus consistently achieves conduction block and is associated with high cure rates for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Catheter ablation of the mitral isthmus results consistently in demonstrable conduction block and is associated with a high cure rate for paroxysmal AF.
