摘要:
The gold standard in ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is radiofrequency (RF) based point by point pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). In the majority of patients with PAF (80 %) PVI can restore stable SR even during long-term follow-up of up to 5 years. However multiple procedures are often required. Cryo-balloon based PVI is an established technique. Safety and efficacy are comparable to RF ablation. Due to the high success rates in patients with PAF and the progression rate to persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) an early intervention is recommended as implemented in the latest guidelines for AF treatment. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
