背景在低能量环境下，射频消融左房(LA)后壁可导致过度穿壁损伤(ETI)。目的本研究旨在阐明ETI的发生率和特点。方法104例房颤患者接受广泛环绕性肺静脉隔离(EEPVI)后行鼻内窥镜检查(ESPI)。
BACKGROUND Even with a low energy setting, radiofrequency energy applications on the left atrial (LA) posterior wall may cause excessive transmural injury (ETI) during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF).OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to clarify the prevalence and characteristics of ETI.METHODS This study included 104 patients with AF who underwent extensive encircling pulmonary vein isolation (EEPVI) followed by an endoscopic examination (
