Innovative Cardiac Care – Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) Procedure

Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) Introduction

Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. It involves blocking faulty electrical signals coming from the pulmonary veins in the heart. The goal is to restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms like palpitations or fatigue.

Targeted Energy for Rhythm Control: How PVI Works

Pulmonary Vein Isolation is performed using a catheter inserted through a vein in the groin and guided to the left atrium of the heart. Doctors use either radiofrequency energy or cryotherapy to create controlled scars around the openings of the pulmonary veins. These scars block abnormal electrical signals that trigger atrial fibrillation. Specialized tools like 3D mapping systems and intracardiac ultrasound are used to ensure precise ablation. The entire procedure typically takes 2–4 hours and is done under conscious sedation or general anesthesia. PVI helps improve the heart’s electrical stability and reduces the risk of stroke in many patients.

Why it’s done?

• To treat patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation that does not respond to medications.
• To prevent recurrence of AFib in patients with paroxysmal (intermittent) or persistent atrial fibrillation.
• To lower the risk of stroke and heart failure caused by chronic irregular heart rhythms.
• To improve quality of life by reducing heart palpitations, dizziness, and fatigue.
