Abstract:
The importance of anatomy in daily clinical practice of the interventional electrophysiologist is crucial, especially for pulmonary vein isolation which is a predominantly anatomy-based approach. Many anatomical and morphological studies focusing on this topic were published in last two decades. In this article we are refreshing the knowledge of anatomy and morphology of the pulmonary veins and present them from a clinical perspective.
