Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Without Demonstration of Pulmonary Vein Occlusion—The Simplify Cryo Study

Background: The demonstration of pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion is routinely performed and considered a prerequisite for successful cryoballoon (CB) ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility and impact on procedural parameters and outcome of a stand...
