Abstract: Although catheter ablation (CA) has become a standard therapeutic approach to atrial fibrillation (AF), it imposes a low but relevant risk of thromboembolic complications of around 0.5%–1%, including ischemic strokes, and has an additional risk… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Adaptability of cryoballoons to anatomic pulmonary vein (PV) variations is limited due to the fixed geometrical shape, and use for left common PVs (LCPVs) is controversial. We compared the procedural and clinical outcomes in… read more here.
