Prospective Evaluation of Superior Vena Cava Isolation as an Adjunct to Pulmonary Vein Re‐Isolation During Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Repeat Procedures
It is unknown whether empirical addition of SVC isolation to PVI improves freedom of recurrence for the treatment of recurrent PAF after previous PVI. Given the small study population, the addition of SVC isolation requires further investigation in a larger randomized trial.
