| Core Tip |
In patients with superior vena cava (SVC) potentials, additional SVC isolation is accompanied by reduced rates of tachycardia recurrence during atrial fibrillation ablation. In a tailored care approach, radiofrequency energy has proven better results compared to cryoablation-mediated SVC isolation. The strategy of periprocedural induction of SVC-originating atrial fibrillation should not be used as a criterion for deciding SVC isolation. These findings support integrating SVC isolation into individualized ablation strategies to optimize patient outcomes. |
