Abstract

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) has shown to be highly sensitive for detection of acute ischemic lesions associated with catheter based interventions. Aim of this study was to examine the incidence of clinically silent cerebral embolism 2nd to segmental ostial pulmonary vein (PV) ablation in a large group of patients (pt).
