Pulmonary veins anatomical determinants of cooling kinetics during second generation cryoballoon ablation

Conclusionsanatomical PV features are associated with cooling kinetics and an anatomical score could predict lower NT during second generation CbA. Specific characteristics were identified for inferior PV. Although heart imaging is not mandatory prior CbA it can be a useful tool to predict cooling kinetics.This article is protected by copyright.
