Characterization of Pulmonary Vein Dimensions Using High-Definition 64-Slice Computed Tomography prior to Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation by Catherine Gebhard, Nazmi Krasniqi, Barbara E. Stähli, Bernd Klaeser, Tobias A. Fuchs, Jelena R. Ghadri, Laurent Haegeli, Thomas F. Lüscher, Philipp A. Kaufmann, Firat Duru

“…Contrast-enhanced computed tomography is commonly acquired before radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for atrial fibrillation (AFib) to guide the procedure. We analyzed pulmonary vein (PV) ostial diameter and volumes on a high-definition 64-slice CT (HDCT) scanner in patients with AFib prior to RFCA. …”
