- Abstract
Ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been one of the most difficult and time-consuming electrophysiological procedures. Due to the rapidly increasing demand for ablation procedures, technical advances would be helpful to reduce complexity and procedure time in AF ablation. Therefore, we investigated the feasibility of a single-catheter technique for pulmonary vein (PV) isolation utilizing a decapolar catheter combined with a duty-cycled, unipolar-bipolar radiofrequency (RF) generator.
