Isolating the posterior left atrium and pulmonary veins with a "box" lesion set: use of epicardial ablation to complete electrical isolation.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Repeated freezing (bonus applications) during cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been suggested to improve lesion durability. However, the long-term clinical effects of repeated freezing have not been investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS:A total of 51 patients (pts) with paroxysmal atrial fibrillat...
