Efficacy and durability of posterior wall isolation with ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall

Ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (EIVOM) is expected to be an adjunctive therapy for mitral isthmus (MI) ablation. Additionally, EIVOM can widely ablate the epicardium via the branches that extend to the left atrial posterior wall (LAPW) and facilitate LAPW isolation. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and durability of LAPW isolation with EIVOM.
