Atrial fibrillation ablation is a complex procedure that requires detailed anatomic information about left atrium (LA) and pulmonary veins (PVs). The goal of this study was to test rotational angiography of the LA during adenosine-induced asystole as an imaging tool in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation.
