A decapolar 25‐mm‐diameter circular mapping catheter with improved detection of pulmonary vein potential disappearance in cryoballoon ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2019
Background Disappearance of pulmonary vein (PV) potentials is an important indicator of successful PV isolation during cryoballoon ablation. Conventional octapolar 20‐mm‐diameter circular PV mapping catheters occasionally fail to identify persistent PV ...
