Representative images from echocardiography before pulmonary vein isolation and during PCIS. Preoperation: A Mild regurgitation of the tricuspid valve with normal PAH. During PCIS: B Severe TR (maximum regurgitation pressure difference 75 mmHg). Severe PAH (estimated 85 mmHg). C The TR (maximum regurgitation pressure difference 62 mmHg) and PAH (estimated 72 mmHg) were alleviated. D Mild TR (maximum regurgitation pressure difference 22 mmHg). PAH recovered.
