Right superior pulmonary vein parameter determined by three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography is an independent predictor of the outcome after cryoballoon isolation of the pulmonary veins

CONCLUSIONS: Right superior PV b measured with 3DTEE might be a significant predictor of AR after PV isolation with the CBG2. In case of RSPV b exceeding 28 mm, alternative PV isolation techniques or use of a larger balloon might be considered.PMID:37853823 | DOI:10.5603/cj.95381
