A simple and safe technique for positioning a bipolar radio-frequency device for pulmonary vein isolation
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 08/17/09
Shimamura Y et al. – The authors describe a simple and safe technique to position a bipolar radio–frequency ablation device around the pulmonary veins when performing pulmonary vein isolation. The technique consists of insertion of a rubber catheter with stylet, originally an introducer from a left vent catheter, behind the pulmonary veins, and subsequent placement of the lower jaw of the ablation clamp using a rubber catheter to guide the device into position.
