A novel wide‐band dielectric imaging system to guide radiofrequency ablation for pulmonary vein isolation

Recently, the wide‐band dielectric mapping system Kodex‐EPD was introduced. This study reports the first clinical experience using a novel system to guide pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with radiofrequency (RF) ablation.
