Cryoballoon Ablation in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: An Evaluation of Cohorts With and Without Structural Heart Disease
Heart Lung Circulation
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the most widely adopted strategy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) ablation. Limited evidence on acute results and late outcomes of cryoballoon (CB)-PVI in patients with structural heart disease (SHD) exist. The aim of this analysis was to compare acute procedural results and the 1-year recurrence rate of a single CB-PVI procedure in a PAF population with and without SHD.
