case_images: Radiofrequency applications, a total of 531 points giving 340 points to both right pulmonary veins, had an average length of 3 to 4 minutes per vein resulting in elimination of pulmonary vein action potentials (Figure 1).

case_images: (a) Cardiac MDCT in paracoronal view showing the right pericardiophrenic bundle (arrows) adjacent to the superior vena cava (SVC) and right atrium (RA). (b) Paraxial view demonstrating the close relation (1 mm) of the pericardiophrenic bundle (arrow) to the right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV).
