Abstract

Although mild PVS was frequently observed after RFCA in this large cohort, incidence of severe PVS was <1% and incidence of symptomatic PVS necessitating intervention was negligible. Based on these findings, it seems appropriate to only screen for PVS in patients with suggestive symptoms.
