Abstract
Variation in PV anatomy is frequently observed with both techniques. The sensitivity for detection of additional branches is higher for MSCT. Results of measurements of PV ostia suggest an underestimation of ostial size by ICE. Three-dimensional imaging techniques, such as MSCT, are required to demonstrate an oval shape of PV ostia.
