Background The value of empirical superior vena cava isolation (SVCI) following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to improve the efficacy of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) remains controversial. RFCA was guided by quantitative AI in both groups. vs 81.5%, p=0.02). 95% CI 0.19

This progressed to electrical storm , with incessant PolyMorphic Ventricular Tachycardia ( PMVT ) and recurrent episodes of Ventricular Fibrillation ( VFib ). The patient improved, and on Day-11 of the hospital stay — he was off inotropes and on a small dose of a ß-blocker. He required multiple defibrillations within a period of a few hours.
