Concurrent assessment of time-to-isolation and temperature at 30 s as an innovative metric for predicting the persistence of pulmonary vein isolation using second-generation cryoballoons

Abstract Background We attempted to establish correlations between intraoperative variables such as time-to-isolation (TTI) and temperature (T) at the 30-second mark, and the sustained efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation. Methods One hundred patients underwent repeat procedures subsequent to their...
