Cryoballoon-Induced Circumferential Pulmonary Vein Fibrosis, Assessed by Late Gadolinium-Enhancement Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Its Correlation with Clinical Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence

Cryoballoon-Induced Circumferential Pulmonary Vein Fibrosis, Assessed by Late Gadolinium-Enhancement Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging, and Its Correlation with Clinical Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence

Background: Prior studies evaluating post-atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation pulmonary vein (PV) ostial gaps via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have shown circumferential PV fibrosis in a minority of patients, and their correlation with AF recurrence was weak. These studies were mostly based on rad...
