Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation Supported by Intracardiac Echocardiography: Integration of a Nonfluoroscopic Imaging Technique in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Abstract

ICE is a feasible novel imaging technique in cryoballoon ablation procedures. It allows decision for adequate balloon size, exact balloon placement, prediction of acute ablation success, and excludes acute narrowing of PV ostia.
