Catheter ablation has become vip-130al the mainstream treatment of atrial fibrillation, but still remains a challenge in those patient with persistent and long standing persistent atrial fibrillation.In addition of isolation of the pulmonary veins, any other areas that can trigger or perpetuate atrial fibrillation need to be isolated.Current technologies may allow to effectively deliver permanently lasting lesions, and therefore improve clinical outcomes after ablation.

The specialized conduction system including the m1917a1 kelly helmet Bachmann and septopulmonary bundles, are important substrate targets for the management of atrial fibrillation.The anatomical location of these fibers, and the corresponding approach for ablation are described in this case.
