Abstract

For the first time, it was demonstrated that high ablation power affects acute and chronic outcomes. High-dose laser balloon ablation allows for an acute PVI rate of 89% solely by visually guided circular ablation and is associated with a chronic success rate of 83% after a single procedure.
