Procedure times and left atrial dwell times of cryoballoon (CB)-based ablation strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF) are shorter as compared to radiofrequency ablation, yet fluoroscopy times are longer and result in a higher radiation exposure. The objective of this study is to evaluate a modified fluoroscopy protocol aiming at reduction of radiation exposure in CB ablation.

Abstract
Procedure times and left atrial dwell times of cryoballoon (CB)-based ablation strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF) are shorter as compared to radiofrequency ablation, yet fluoroscopy times are longer and result in a higher radiation exposure. The objective of this study is to evaluate a modified fluoroscopy protocol aiming at reduction of radiation exposure in CB ablation.File in questo prodotto:
