Comparison of cryoablation success in persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: single center experience

INTRODUCTION: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most important cause of stroke. Here, the characteristics and follow-up results of your AF ablation with cryobalon technique were presented. METHODS: Between February 2016 and November 2017, patients with cryoablation therapy with paroxysmal and persistent AF were included. Data from patient files were analyzed retrospectively. Patients reached by phone RESULTS: 45 patients were evaluated in the study. 23 of the patients were female and 22 were male. The mean age was 52 +- 14.5 years. The early success rate of cryotherapy was 100%. as a computation. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In this study, single cryoablation therapy was effective in paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation, but recurrence of persistent atrial fibrillation was significantly higher
