Use of Intracardiac Echocardiography for Prediction of Chronic Pulmonary Vein Stenosis After Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Prediction of PV Stenosis After Ablation. Introduction: Measurements of pulmonary vein (PV) flow with intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) immediately before and after PV isolation may be a useful method for predicting which patients will develop chronic PV stenosis.
