Cryoballoon ablation is rapidly gaining popularity among electrophysiologists in the setting of pulmonary vein isolation for the treatment of AF. The first part of the following review focuses on the feasibility and clinical outcome of this technique in patients exhibiting a left common ostium. In the second part, we discuss how to predict and prevent the most common complication related to cryoballoon ablation: right phrenic nerve palsy.
在用于治疗房颤的肺静脉隔离术中,冷冻球囊消融术在电生理学家中迅速受到欢迎。以下综述的第一部分重点关注该技术在存在左共同肺静脉口的患者中的可行性和临床结果。在第二部分中,我们讨论如何预测和预防与冷冻球囊消融相关的最常见并发症:右侧膈神经麻痹。
