Does an individual time-to-isolation protocol for cryoballoon-based pulmonary vein isolation improve stable sinus rhythm and safety in patients with drug-refractory atrial fibrillation?
Integrating an individual time-to-isolation protocol for cryoballoon-based pulmonary vein isolation yields a 72% rate of stable sinus rhythm at 405 days with a low complication rate.
Reißmann et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Drug-refractory paroxysmal or short-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (n=60). Cryoballoon-based pulmonary vein isolation using an individual time-to-isolation protocol was evaluated on Stable sinus rhythm. Cryoballoon-based pulmonary vein isolation using an individual time-to-isolation protocol resulted in 72% of patients remaining in stable sinus rhythm over a mean follow-up of 405 days.
