Fig. 3

The nine points on the left atrial (LA) roof and the measurements of the shortest spatial distance between the nine points and the pulmonary arteries (PAs). a Three dimensional images of the LA roof and four pulmonary veins (PVs). The LA roof was divided into three layers from front to back. b–d Coronal images of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd layers, respectively. Each layer is divided into three points (a, b, and c) from right to left. e–m Shortest spatial distances between the points of “1a” to “3c” and the adjacent PAs, respectively. LPA, left PA; RPA, right PA; RSPV, right superior PV; RIPV, right inferior PV; LSPV, left superior PV; LIPV, left inferior PV
