The Influence of Pulmonary Veins' Anatomic Features and Catheter Coaxiality on Cryoballoon Ablation Results for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

A total of 172 consecutive patients with sympathetic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who received cryoballoon (CB) ablation from 2020 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Catheter coaxiality and anatomic features of pulmonary veins (PVs) on computed tomography images were explored by...

Zusammenfassung:	A total of 172 consecutive patients with sympathetic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who received cryoballoon (CB) ablation from 2020 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Catheter coaxiality and anatomic features of pulmonary veins (PVs) on computed tomography images were explored by several parameters and their influence on the cryoablation results was then analyzed. The rate of incomplete CB occlusion was significantly higher for inferior than superior PVs. A multivariate analysis revealed that a short distance (
