3D rotational angiography during cryoballoon ablation did not improve procedural success or long-term outcomes but significantly increased procedure time, radiation dose, and contrast usage.
Does intra-procedural 3DRA improve procedural success or long-term outcomes in patients undergoing cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation?
The use of intra-procedural 3DRA during cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation offers no clinical benefit while increasing procedure time, radiation exposure, and contrast use.
