Background: Studies have shown that paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) might arise from the repetitive firing of myocytes in muscle sleeves that extend from the left atrium (LA) into the pulmonary veins (PVs). Using catheter ablation to isolate the PVs from the LA is an accepted approach to treat paroxmal AF in addition to pharmacological management. Recurrence of AF after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an important issue. In the majority of patients, recurrence of AF is caused by reconnection of the PVs after initial ablative therapy. Furthermore, risks and complications associated with PVI are being studied. Over the past decade, a number of catheters and techniques have been developed in order to optimise the procedure.
