AB  - Pulmonary vein isolation using robotic radiosurgery system CyberKnife is a new 
      non-invasive treatment of atrial fibrillation, currently in clinical phase. 
      Robotic radiosurgical pulmonary vein isolation (RRPVI) uses stereotactic, 
      non-invasive (painless) pinpoint radiation energy delivery to a small, precise 
      area to accomplish ablation. The purpose of this report is to describe the 
      finding of an increase in the enhancement of the left atrium demonstrated with 
      the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging using late gadolinium enhancement 
      (LGE-CMR) as a result of RRPVI in the first case in the world in humans using 
      CyberKnife as a treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
