Pulmonary veins (PVs) ablation is a valid treatment option for atrial fibrillation. The standard approach for PVs isolation usually requires two catheters or an electroanatomical reconstruction of the left atrium.

The newly available catheter MESH was safe and effective to quickly isolate two reconnected PVs.
