DOI: 10.1007/s10840-020-00905-9
Abstract: Ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) requires electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins (PV) by wide-area circumferential PV antral isolation (PVAI). Cryoballoon ablation delivers cryoenergy circumferentially after occlusion of the PV by the cryoballoon; thus, it… read more here.
