INTRODUCTION
Radiofrequency (RF) and cryoenergy are largely considered independent modalities for the transcatheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. There are numerous theoretical advantages to… (More)
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to investigate whether epicardial cryoablation could achieve sufficient endocardial hypothermia to create transmural lesions leading to acute and sustained… (More)
OBJECTIVE
: Clinical experience with endocardial cryoablation for the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation has demonstrated safety and efficacy. Direct access to the left atrium via a… (More)
Introduction. Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation has emerged as a promising technique for the treatment of patients with drug-refractory atrial fibrillation, however, the achievement of transmural lesions… (More)
