Figure 1. In the EEPVI procedure, the ablation line design is illustrated on 3D-CT and selective angiography of PV. At the posterior LA-PV junction, the linear ablation is done 1 to 2 cm outside the PV (yellow dots). At the anterior junction, segmental ablation is performed on the ridge between anterior PV wall and surrounding tissues (green dots).
