Impact of right pulmonary vein anatomical variations on the phrenic nerve trajectory and pulmonary vein isolation strategy: Preprocedural imaging and 3D mapping insights
RMPV or early branching of the RSPV increases the likelihood of PN capture in the RIPV proximal antrum by 10-fold and requires a more distal antral ablation line to avoid phrenic nerve injury.
