By using the fourth-generation CB, we report a specific pattern of isolation represented by a sequential isolation of two apparently distinct PV fascicles during a single CB freeze delivery. This phenomenon occurred in 5.8% of PV ablations. Of note, the rate of visualization of RT isolation with this novel CB was very high and could be documented in 86.2% of PVs.
