Effect of air removal with extracorporeal balloon inflation on incidence of asymptomatic cerebral embolism during cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation: A prospective randomized study

Effect of air removal with extracorporeal balloon inflation on incidence of asymptomatic cerebral embolism during cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation: A prospective randomized study

Background: It was previously reported, based on a retrospective study, that preliminary removal of air bubbles in heparinized saline water with extracorporeal balloon inflation reduced the incidence of asymptomatic cerebral embolism (ACE). The present study aims to compare the incidence of ACE betw...
