Abstract

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) appears to be here to stay. In just a few years since the landmark publications by Haissaguerre and Pappone, countless variations on the theme of ostial or antral PVI, with or without additional lines or point lesions, have been published. The procedure has found its way into daily practice and international guidelines, and is currently the most performed ablation in the Netherlands.
