PV variations may predict cryoballoon ablation recurrence in AF; leaves open whether anatomy-tailored strategies improve outcomes.

Right upper pulmonary vein diameter and fluoroscopy time are independent predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence following cryoballoon-based ablation.
Güler et al. (2015) conducted a cohort in Atrial Fibrillation (n=54). Right upper pulmonary vein (RUPV) diameter was evaluated on Atrial fibrillation recurrence (OR 2.736, 95% CI 1.267-5.906, p=0.010). Right upper pulmonary vein diameter (OR 2.736; 95% CI 1.267-5.906) and fluoroscopy time were identified as independent predictors for atrial fibrillation recurrence following cryoballoon ablation.
