Characteristics of Phrenic Nerve Injury During Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using a 28‐mm Second‐Generation Cryoballoon and Short Freeze Strategy

Characteristics of Phrenic Nerve Injury During Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using a 28‐mm Second‐Generation Cryoballoon and Short Freeze Strategy

BackgroundThe reported incidence of phrenic nerve injury (PNI) varies owing to different definitions, balloon generations, balloon size, freezing regimen, and protective maneuvers. We evaluated the incidence, predictors, and outcome of PNI during cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation in a large popul...
