Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pressure guided cryoablation
Patients undergoing cryoablation of atrial fibrillation with catheter-balloon, where the evaluation of the pulmonary veins occlusion will be assessed by the analysis of the pressure waveforms obtained from the tip of the catheter (without injecting contrast).
cryoablation of pulmonary veins
Procedures are guided by pressure waveforms analysis, which are obtained by connecting the internal lumen of the catheter through the lateral port of the hemostatic valve attached to the catheter, to a pressure transducer connected in turn to a heparinized saline serum bag and to the cryoablation console.
