Abstract:
A 58-year-old woman with drug-refractory symptoms of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) was referred for AF ablation. A single site of ganglionated plexus triggering pulmonary vein ectopy and AF was ablated, without pulmonary vein isolation. This procedure led to long-term freedom from AF. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
