A Combined Therapy Using Encircling Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Supplemental Segmental Ostial Isolation for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation

Electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins (PV) has become a curative treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Recently, there have been many reports that circumferential PV isolation (CPI) on the atrial side has a better outcome than segmental ostial PV isolation (SOPI). However, repo...
