Title:

USING PULMONARY VEIN ISOLATION FOR PATIENTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

Document Type and Number:

Japanese Patent JP2020182846

Kind Code:

A

Abstract:

To ablate a patient.SOLUTION: A method for ablating a patient comprises ascertaining a CHA2DS2-VASc score for the patient, and inserting a probe into the patient to contact a pulmonary vein of the patient. The method further includes applying energy via the probe to ablate the pulmonary vein until pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is achieved. When the PVI is achieved and the CHA2DS2-VASc score is less than a preset value, the ablation of the pulmonary vein is ceased. When the PVI is achieved and the CHA2DS2-VASc score is greater than or equal to the preset value, energy is applied to perform further ablation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
