Ten-year follow-up after endocardial point-by-point cryoablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Since many years catheter ablation is widely used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), however, long-term follow-up data of ablation techniques are rare. This study presents a 10-year follow-up period in patients treated for paroxysmal AF (PAF) with point-by-point pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using cryothermal energy (cryoPVI). The main objective is to investigate whether cryoPVI is able to create durable PVI.All consecutive patients...
