Verification of pulmonary vein isolation during single transseptal cryoballoon ablation: a comparison between the classical circular mapping catheter and the inner lumen mapping catheter

Abstract

Cryoballoon ablation in conjunction with the novel Achieve is feasible, safe, and affords PVI in nearly all veins in similar proportions to the approach with the traditional guidewire. Furthermore, if compared to the procedure with the circular mapping catheter, cryoballoon ablation with the Achieve is significantly faster and associated to shorter fluoroscopy times.
