Long-term clinical outcome following pulmonary vein isolation with high-intensity focused ultrasound balloon catheters in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Aims High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) applied via a balloon catheter is a novel technology for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). The long-term success rate is unknown. Methods and results Thirty-two patients (22 male, age 60 ± 9 years) with...
