Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) lesions after cryoballoon ablation (CBA) are characterized as a wider and more continuous than that after conventional radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) without the contact force (CF)‐sensing technology. However, the impact on the lesion characteristics of ablation with a CF‐sensing catheter has not been well discussed. We sought to assess the lesions using late‐gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE‐MRI) and to compare the differences between the two groups (CB group vs. RF group).
