摘要: Introduction: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), by catheter ablation, represents the current treatment for drug-resistant atrial fibrillation (AF). Nowadays cryoballoon (CB) is a recognized ablation method in patients with fibrillation, mainly due to its ease of use, leading reproducible and fast procedures. This novel single shot technology literally revolutionized approach AF ablation. Areas covered: The historical development cryoballoon, techniques new approaches beyond ordinary PVI complications are summarized here. Expert opinion: Although has greatly standardized few critical points still need be clarified scientifically order further uniform this procedure cath labs worldwide. Duration dosage cryoapplication undoubtedly topic great interest.
