Résumé :

Cryoballoon (CB) ablation has proven very effective in achieving pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The Achieve catheter (AC) is a novel inner lumen catheter designed to be used in conjunction with the CB, which serves the double purpose of a guidewire and a mapping catheter. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of CB ablation in conjunction with the novel AC, in terms of PVI and safety in a series of patients affected by drug resistant paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
