Clinical Impact of Interlesion Distance on Acute Pulmonary Vein Isolation Success in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Background: Achieving pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) through contiguous lesions is important for durable PVI treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that the flexible-tip TactiFlex catheter, with its enhanced stability, would allow for successful acute PVI even with an extended interlesion distance (ILD) of 6 mm.
