Abstract

Successful radiofrequency catheter ablation of ectopic beats originating from the pulmonary veins can eliminate paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF),1–4 but the complex anatomy of this region may limit mapping of AF. Information about the structure of the pulmonary veins and left atrial junction is poorly reported, especially in the adult population.
