How to Learn Pulmonary Vein Isolation with a Novel Ablation Device: Learning Curve Effects Using the Endoscopic Ablation System

摘要

Learning Curve of Laser Balloon PVI. Introduction: Novel ablation devices for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) need a careful evaluation of its efficacy and safety beyond clinical studies in a real world situation. The endoscopic ablation system (EAS) was recently approved for PVI in Europe. We sought to determine the safety, efficacy, and learning curve effects of EAS-PVI in a large volume single center.
